I believe we have been too tolerant of the intolerant. We should learn to become intolerant of the intolerant.

Geert Wilders

We should start being intolerant to those who are intolerant to us. This is not modern logic, this is not extreme, this is common sense.

Geert Wilders

I am lactose intolerant, and I always thought it was really funny how people who are lactose intolerant continue to eat dairy, because they like it so much. And I find it not acceptable.

Lake Bell

When I was very young, I was disgracefully intolerant but when I passed the thirty mark I prided myself on having learned the beautiful lesson that all things were good, and equally good. That, however, was really laziness. Now, thank goodness, I've sorted out what matters and what doesn't. And I'm beginning to be intolerant again.

Gladys Bronwyn Stern

There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

Michael Caine

Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

Karl Popper

I think people are intolerant of artists.

David Chase

In the dark that followed - Lucy said; "where I was born, the trees were always in the sun. And I left that place because it was intolerant of rain. Now, we are here in a place where there are no trees and there is only rain. And I intend to leave this place - because it is intolerant of light. Somewhere - there must be somewhere where darkness and light are reconciled. So I am starting a rumour, here and now, of yet another world. I don't know when it will present itself - I don't know where it will be. But - as with all those other worlds now past when it is ready, I intend to go there.

Timothy Findley

We should be tolerant to people who are tolerant to us. We should be intolerant to people who are intolerant to us.

Geert Wilders

I like things my own way. I like the window open at night, for instance, and I'm too intolerant to adjust to other people's habits.

Roddy Llewellyn

The world may disagree with the Church, but the world knows very definitely with what it is disagreeing. In the future as in the past, the Church will be intolerant about the sanctity of marriage, for what God has joined together no man shall put asunder; she will be intolerant about her creed, and be ready to die for it, for she fears not those who kill the body, but rather those who have the power to cast body and soul into hell.

Fulton J. Sheen

A lot of people on holiday get very intolerant of things that go wrong, but getting wound up about the plane being late won't make it come any sooner.
