Prejudice, not being founded on reason, cannot be removed by argument
Samuel Johnson
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Hello, Mary.'It was like hearing a note of divine calm after a dissonant passage of music. My confusion died away.
Jennifer Paynter
The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice
Mark Twain
Bigot, one who is obstinately and zealously attached to an opinion that you do not entertain.
Ambrose Bierce
A great many people think they are thinking when they are really rearranging their prejudices.
Edward R. Murrow
Stupidity, outrage, vanity, cruelty, iniquity, bad faith, falsehood -- we fail to see the whole array when it is facing in the same direction as we.
Jean Rostand
Prejudice is a learned trait. You're not born prejudiced; you're taught it.
Charles R. Swindoll
Peter was now standing very close - as if he wanted to comfort me - as if he knew how hurt I felt that Mrs Knowles had not asked me to play or to sing. And I did feel comforted. It was as if a tide of warmth was carrying me out of myself, inclining me to trust him and to conduct myself well.
Love is too precious to be ashamed of.
Laurell K Hamilton
Do you know what we call opinion in the absence of evidence? We call it prejudice.
Michael Crichton
If you're searching for the truth, throw out all your prejudices and just gather the facts. If you do that, you'll be able to see the real truth.
CLAMP
Before I could reply, he had picked me up, literally swept me off my feet, and kissed me. And afterwards, when I tried to speak, he silenced me in much the same manner. It was a shock (but not at all distasteful) to be so caught up. Later - when he at last set me down - he handled me more gently. He took of my glasses and told me that he loved me.
It's not about who you sleep with, or whether you know about sports or tools or have a pearl-wearing wife or whether commercials make you cry. [...] it's about whether you step up. When something hard comes along. A man steps up. He doesn't dodge it or run away from it or try to push it onto someone else. He steps up. Even if it isn't his responsibility. And that's why there are so many guys and so few men. Because stepping up is hard.
Ben Monopoli
Discussion is impossible with someone who claims not to seek the truth, but already to possess it.
Romain Rolland
I felt my mouth go dry, my throat constrict. What possible interpretation could Peter place on those words, other than that they were about him? - that the entire song was about him?
Fanatics can justify practically any atrocity to themselves. The more untenable their position becomes, the harder they hold to it, and the worse the things they are willing to do to support it.
Mercedes Lackey
If someone is able to show me that what I think or do is not right, I will happily change, for I seek the truth, by which no one was ever truly harmed. It is the person who continues in his self-deception and ignorance who is harmed.
Marcus Aurelius
Sometimes, the way around prejudice is education.
Liza Mundy
At that moment a solitary violin struck up. But the music was not dance music; it was more like a song - a solemn, sweet song. (I know now that it was Beethoven's Romance in F.) I listened, and suddenly it was as if the fog that surrounded me had been penetrated, as if I were being spoken to.
