Quote by Wallace Stevens

Intolerance respecting other people's religion is toleration itself in comparison with intolerance respecting other people's art.

Intolerance respecting other people's religion is toleration

Summary

This quote suggests that when it comes to intolerance, particularly in terms of respecting other people's beliefs or artistic expressions, intolerance towards someone's art is even worse than intolerance towards their religion. It implies that people may be more accepting and tolerant of differing religious beliefs, but when it comes to art, individuals are even less willing to accept and respect the diverse forms of artistic expression. This quote reminds us of the importance of respecting and embracing different artistic perspectives, just as we should respect different religious practices.
