Whether it is tribalism, racism, xenophobia, or anti-Muslim backlash we’re talking about, we spend so much time and energy fighting ways to divide ourselves from others.

We need to combat Trump’s agenda to make sure he can’t divide our families.
I think ‘Mudbound’ reveals the interconnectiveness of our stories. You can’t separate out threads of history and race as economic construct. ‘Mudbound’ makes it very plain. Race is about commerce; it’s not an actual thing. It’s a fiction that was created to basically divide resources unequally.
I do think that there is such a thing as human nature, and that the things that we have in common are perhaps greater than the things that divide us.
There are precedents for what happens when societies allow the divide between rich and poor to get so huge that it stops being funny and starts becoming a sick, blood-boiling joke. If you had a Tardis, you could go back to 1917 and ask the Russian royal family how it was all going.
You have to abide by the regulations that the regulators insist on. This is not a philosophical divide – it’s a fact of life.
Writers divide into those who write biting their nails and those who don’t. Some writers write licking their finger.

If Quebeckers want Jean Charest, well, they can choose him. It’s never a winning formula to divide Quebeckers.
Ineptitude and negligence directed British policies in India more than any cynical desire to divide and rule, but the British were not above exploiting rivalries.

Yes, President Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, but a hundred years later, the Republican Party wasn’t Lincoln’s. Richard Nixon became president by courting Americans upset by integration, intentionally fueling the racial divide.
