William Bratton

Broken-windows enforcement is really about controlling behavior to such an extent you change it: If you deal with the little things, you can keep them from going into the big things. Zero tolerance implies zealotry. It's oppressive. And it's not achievable. You're never going to be in a position to eliminate all crime.

American Public Servant

Peter Scolari

I used to make fun of those actors who talked about the theater as their temple and their place of worship. I'm not to that degree of zealotry or idolatry of theater as this holy place.

Campbell Brown

Heartless zealotry, whether from the religious right or from the teachers' union on the left, is always troubling.

American Journalist

British Politician

Negative Nuance

Use 'zealotry' to describe someone with extreme commitment to a cause, often going beyond what is considered reasonable.

Strong Commitment

While 'zealotry' involves passion, it isn't always positive and often suggests a stubborn or single-minded approach.

Not Always Positive
