Albert Einstein:
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
Albert Einstein:
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
Barack Obama :
I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story, that I owe a debt to all of those who came before me, and that in no other country on Earth is my story even possible.
Charlotte Bronte:
Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow there, firm as weeds among rocks.
Edward R. Murrow:
Everyone is a prisoner of his own experience. No one can eliminate prejudices--just recognize them.
H. L. Mencken:
Criticism is prejudice made plausible.
James Baldwin:
It is a great shock at the age of five or six to find that in a world of Gary Coopers you are the Indian.
Walter Lippmann:
The tendency of the casual mind is to pick out or stumble upon a sample which supports or defies its prejudices, and then to make it the representative of a whole class.
William James:
A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.
