He had but one eye and the pocket of prejudice runs in favor

Summary

This quote suggests that people tend to have a biased perspective and favor those who possess all or most of the desired qualities or traits. In this case, the speaker is emphasizing the bias towards individuals who have both eyes, referring to physical appearance as an example. It implies that the person with only one eye may face discriminatory treatment or disfavor simply because they do not meet the societal expectation of having two eyes. The quote urges the recognition of such biases and encourages a more inclusive and accepting mindset.
