Unity And Diversity Quote by Terry Tempest Williams
““I love the concept of unity and diversity … most decisions are based on a tiny difference. People say this was right and that wrong—the difference was a feather … I keep scales wherever I am to remind me of that … They’re a symbol of my awareness of the distortion most people have of what’s better and what isn’t. LSR””
