Quote by G. K. Chesterton

What people call impartiality may simply mean indifference, and what people call partiality may simply mean mental activity.

What people call impartiality may simply mean indifference,

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of impartiality may often be misunderstood. It implies that what some people refer to as impartiality could actually stem from a lack of interest or passive attitude, rather than a genuine unbiased perspective. On the other hand, the quote proposes that what is perceived as partiality might actually be a result of active and thoughtful mental engagement. It encourages a reevaluation of these terms and highlights the importance of differentiating between true neutrality and mere disengagement or inattentiveness.
