It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.
There are two sides, at least, to most political questions, and a politician’s impulse may be to believe that the same holds true for science. Certainly, there are disputes in science. But on the question of climate change, the divide is stark.
In my view – which could be wrong, but it is my field – there is no better formula for social instability than to divide a society between two ascribed characteristics that are seen as opposite.

Some people are trying to create hatred among Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and Parsis by following the divide and rule trick adopted by British rulers, but they have been failed miserably.
Many people see technology as the problem behind the so-called digital divide. Others see it as the solution. Technology is neither. It must operate in conjunction with business, economic, political and social system.
I thought ‘UnSouled’ would come in at around 400 pages, but it took 650 pages, and even then I felt like I was rushing the conclusion, so I asked my editor and publisher if I could divide it again. So a sequel became a trilogy, and the trilogy became a tetralogy – although we’re not calling it that.
I believed in Obama for social issues. I believe he brought our nation together and healed our racial divide. Martin Luther King’s dream came true when he was elected. That’s huge.
But it all came, and for me, hip-hop has done more for racial divide and racial sort of bringing together than anything in the last 30 years. Seeing people like Eminem sounding like somebody like Jay-Z and just the racial aspects of it all.
If only the majority of the wealthiest top 10 percent of Americans own stock directly – which does not include pension and retirement accounts – then the divide between rich and poor is likely to expand.
Whatever else may divide us, Europe is our common home; a common fate has linked us through the centuries, and it continues to link us today.
While we celebrate our diversity, what surprises me time and time again as I travel around the constituency is that we are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us.
It’s easy to focus on the things that divide us. Sometimes too easy.
I think that if I would talk on a political subject, if I talk about it, it would divide the audience on that issue. That’s not my issue.

The big divide in this country is not between Democrats and Republicans, or women and men, but between talkers and doers.
There’s an ocean of misunderstanding. It’s called the civilian-military divide. I had a lot to learn about our military – who they are, what burdens they carry.
I divide all readers into two classes: those who read to remember and those who read to forget.
Politics remind us of the big divide between different parts of the country, but also that we all have to run this ship together. Were all married to one another and there is no divorce happening.
I do not use words like ‘liberal’ or ‘conservative.’ You can ask me a question, and I will give you an answer. Those are words rich people on television use to divide and conquer.
I’ve always been transgender, and I always will be. Having said that, my spirit is feminine. If you had to divide humanity into two groups, I would sit with the women.
Smart habitation is an integrated area of villages and a city working in harmony and where the rural and urban divide has reduced to thin line.
I don’t divide architecture, landscape and gardening; to me they are one.
The world is becoming increasingly changeable and unpredictable, so why should education make the knowledge being passed on so finite and certain; why divide all of it into measurable units?
Families tend to artificially divide the world, imbuing one member with all the attributes and another with all the faults. But it’s never that way.
Our strength as a nation comes in our unity. We are the United States of America, not the divided states. And those who want to divide us are trying to divide us, and we shouldn’t let them do it.
I feel like we were the last generation, and there’s this big divide before and after the 1990s. I feel sorry for the kids today. It’s all too much.
What I’ve tried to do is combine both my personal experiences with scientific research. I like to cross the divide between the personal world and the scientific world.
The country has sorted itself ideologically into the two political parties, and those partisan attachments have hardened in recent years. It will take an extraordinary event and act of leadership to break this partisan divide. I thought 9/11 might provide such an opportunity, but it was not seized.
I don’t even think the biggest divide is between Republicans and Democrats. I think it’s between institutionalists and reformers.
It is impossible to divide the interest of a country and a company that works on its soil.
People want politicians to address the big issues and if they can do it across the divide of parties then so be it.

It is sad that the Republican leadership is not as interested as they say they are in protecting the institution of marriage as they are in waging a campaign to divide and distract the American people from the real issues that need to be addressed.
As far as the Congress is concerned, we condemn any attempts to oppress the Dalits in strongest terms. If there are parties trying to fan the OBC-Dalit divide in Tamil Nadu, we need to collectively condemn them.
Squaring numbers is a symmetrical process that I like very much. And when I divide one number by another, say, 13 divided by 97, I see a spiral rotating downwards in larger and larger loops that seem to warp and curve. The shapes coalesce into the right number. I never write anything down.
I think we should all be more concerned about the environment and the effects of global warming. It will be pointless to talk about all the issues that divide us when it’s 300 degrees outside.
You can divide my life into two.
I think the key divide between the interactive media and the narrative media is the difficulty in opening up an empathic pathway between the gamer and the character, as differentiated from the audience and the characters in a movie or a television show.
We have created characters and animated them in the dimension of depth, revealing through them to our perturbed world that the things we have in common far outnumber and outweigh those that divide us.
I hope we don’t export conflict from this planet into the others. None of the paradigms that define us here on earth – the borders, the parochialism, the divide, should mar our presence in space.
I have this ratio that if you divide age of entrepreneur by market cap of company. For Facebook it’s one. Every year of his life Zuckerberg has been making $1 billion for investors.
But it is impossible to divide a cube into two cubes, or a fourth power into fourth powers, or generally any power beyond the square into like powers; of this I have found a remarkable demonstration. This margin is too narrow to contain it.
There are so many things in life that divide us, that separate us and tear us apart, be it race, religion, creed, socioeconomic level, nationality or any variety of other factors. But running is something that we all share in common.
We simply must find ways both to bridge the differences that still seem to divide us and focus on the things that we share.
The force I represent is Virginia’s New Mainstream. It looks forward, not backwards. It tries to unify people, not divide them.
Feminism is so subjective. Because of the generational divide, and because we’re living in a completely different world than someone in Africa or even Scotland.
Isn’t it strange that religious prejudices – beliefs none possess, not even the saints, so they have lamented – divide brothers and sons from their fathers. You see, I except mothers and sisters; the female is not a religious animal. If she were, the world would have ceased long ago.
