Famous quotes containing the words prejudice and/or privilege:
“In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“There is one privilege we’ll never lose; currently it’s called nationality. It means that everyone was born somewhere, which is in fact self-evident.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
