   Jag fick verkligen leta för att hitta källan till denna. Kommer från Harijan, 31-5-1942, p. 172. Citatet i sin helhet lyder:

   Evolution of democracy is not possible if we are not prepared to hear the other side. We shut the doors of reason when we refuse to listen to our opponents or, having listened, make fun of them. If intolerance becomes a habit, we run the risk of missing the truth. Whilst with the limits that nature has put upon our understanding, we must act fearlessly according to the light vouchsafed to us, we must always keep an open mind and be ever ready to find that what we believed to be truth was, after all, untruth. This openness of mind strengthens the truth in us and removes the cross from it if there is any.

   Bra grävjobb i arkivet! Jag tror att Gandhi hade varit med i den direktdemokratiska rörelsen om han hade levt idag.
