“Diversity: The art of thinking independently, together. [It] makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value…A society that does not recognize that each individual has values of his own which he is entitled to follow can have no respect for the dignity of the individual and cannot really know freedom.” — Eugene Liu
