Tolerance sounds like a virtue, and at times it may be. [But should] a parent be tolerant of behavior that is harming a child? Or the police be tolerant of criminals who prey upon others? Should doctors be tolerant of disease, or public schoolteachers tolerant of any answer on an exam, no matter how wrong?

You become more and more charged with your life and with a life that you're observing. When I was younger, I was actually looking forward to getting older, to have more insight, more understanding.

I would say that to vote for Trump was to at least overlook the fact that we're talking about someone with a record of misogyny and racist invective.

I've learned a lot just being around people who grew up so differently from me, which is cool. It teaches you how to be a lot more tolerant.

I decided to live as an individual and as I grew older, and thought more, and read more and experienced more, my views became more conservative. But my group is liberal.

Here, then, I'm living with that kind of a pressure against my individuality.
