Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

Every word is a prejudice.

Every word is a prejudice.

Summary

This quote suggests that every word we use carries a bias or preconceived notions. It highlights the idea that language itself is not neutral but is shaped by the subjective perspectives, beliefs, and experiences of individuals or societies. Therefore, our words can inadvertently perpetuate stereotypes or unfair judgments. It serves as a reminder to be mindful of the language we employ and to be conscious of the potential biases we may unintentionally convey through our choice of words.

That what is true of business and politics is gloriously true of the professions, the arts and crafts, the sciences, the sports. That the best picture has not yet been painted; the greatest poem is still unsung; the mightiest novel remains to be written; the divinest music has not been conceived even by Bach. In science, probably ninety-nine percent of the knowable has to be discovered. We know only a few streaks about astronomy. We are only beginning to imagine the force and composition of the atom. Physics has not yet found any indivisible matter, or psychology a sensible soul.
