Quotes about prejudice:

A judgment can be refuted, but never a prejudice.”
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

A man who takes away another man's freedom is a prisoner of hatred, he is locked behind the bars of prejudice and narrow-mindedness. I am not truly free if I am taking away someone else's freedom, just as surely as I am not free when my freedom is taken from me. The oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity.”
Nelson Mandela
