“A library represents the mind of its collector, his fancies and foibles, his strength and weakness, his prejudices and preferences. Particularly is this the case if, to the character of a collector, he adds -- or tries to add -- the qualities of a student who wishes to know the books and the lives of the men who wrote them. The friendships of his life, the phases of his growth, the vagaries of his mind, all are represented.”
William Osler
“Your Weakness is your Strength!”
Haydee Gido
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”
Mark Twain
“I don't like principles. I prefer prejudices.”
Oscar Wilde
“Islam makes very large claims for itself. In its art, there is a prejudice against representing the human form at all. The prohibition on picturing the prophet – who was only another male mammal – is apparently absolute. So is the prohibition on pork or alcohol or, in some Muslim societies, music or dancing. Very well then, let a good Muslim abstain rigorously from all these. But if he claims the right to make me abstain as well, he offers the clearest possible warning and proof of an aggressive intent.”
Christopher Hitchens
“Prejudices are what fools use for reason.”
Voltaire
“Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.”
Maya Angelou
