The air is the only place free from prejudice.
Prejudice, not being founded on reason, cannot be removed by argument
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.
Hello, Mary.'It was like hearing a note of divine calm after a dissonant passage of music. My confusion died away.
The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice
Bigot, one who is obstinately and zealously attached to an opinion that you do not entertain.
A great many people think they are thinking when they are really rearranging their prejudices.
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.
Prejudice is a learned trait. You're not born prejudiced; you're taught it.
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.
Do you know what we call opinion in the absence of evidence? We call it prejudice.

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.
Discussion is impossible with someone who claims not to seek the truth, but already to possess it.
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.
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.
Sometimes, the way around prejudice is education.
