About this Quote

This quote by Linda Ellerbee talks to the idea that, in spite of our distinctions, we are all more alike than we are various. It suggests that our resemblances are frequently overlooked because our distinctions are more quickly defined. This could be because our distinctions are more visible, such as skin color, gender, or religion. It might likewise be because our differences are more easily measured, such as earnings or education level. Regardless, this quote motivates us to look beyond our distinctions and recognize the commonalities that all of us share. It reminds us that, at the end of the day, we are all human and have more in typical than we think. We must make every effort to accept our distinctions and celebrate our resemblances.
