“As a photographer I have learned that women really do hold up half the sky; that language isn’t always necessary, but touch usually is; that all people are not alike, but they do mostly have the same hopes and fears; that judging others does great harm but listening to them enriches; that it is impossible to hate a group of people once you get to know one of them as an individual.” Annie Griffiths Belt

That it is impossible to hate a group of people once you get to know one of them as an individual is something every single person should consider. Travel, ask questions, and introducing yourself to different cultural groups will make your own world so much bigger. Thanks for the quote. She is a wise woman!
Thank you! She is wise and I think the warmth, insight comes through in her images and other peoples. 🙂
those words are so true…if only more people took them to heart
