Quoted in Dale Carnegie, How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, ch. 21 (1948)More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-eleanor/85…

A quotation from Madeleine L'Engle
We need to dare disturb the universe by not being manipulated or frightened by judgmental groups who assume the right to insist that if we do not agree with them, not only do we not understand but we are wrong. How dull the world would be if we all had to feel the same way about everything, if we all had to like the same books, dislike the same books.
Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DCMore about this quote: wist.info/lengle-madeleine/826…

The things we laugh at than those we respect and revere.
