Quote of the Day (William Butler Yeats, on ‘Arrogance and Hatred’)

“Arrogance and hatred are the wares
Peddled in the thoroughfares.” —Nobel Prize-winning Irish poet-playwright William Butler Yeats (1865-1939), “A Prayer for My Daughter,” originally published in Michael Robartes and the Dancer (1921), republished in The Collected Poems of W. B. Yeats (1989)
 
While “arrogance and hatred” might be sold in the streets, they are manufactured elsewhere—by heads of state, religious leaders, and media moguls who should know better.
