  1. A quotation from Gloria Steinem

    The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn. We are filled with the popular wisdom of several centuries just past, and we are terrified to give it up. Patriotism means obedience, age means wisdom, woman means submission, black means inferior: these are preconceptions embedded so deeply in our thinking that we honestly may not know that they are there.

    Gloria Steinem (1934–2026) American feminist, journalist, activist
    Essay (1971-08-21), “A New Egalitarian Life Style,” New York Times

  2. A quotation from Einstein

    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.
     
    [Wenige sind imstande, von den Vorurteilen der Umgebung abweichende Meinungen gelassen auszusprechen; die Meisten sind sogar unfähig, überhaupt zu solchen Meinungen zu gelangen.]

    Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German-American physicist
    Essay (1953-05-23), “Aphorisms for Leo Baeck [Neun Aphorismen], No. 4, Essays Presented to Leo Baeck on the Occasion of His Eightieth Birthday (1954) [Einstein Archives 28-962]

  7. A quotation from Joseph Addison

    Justice discards party, friendship, kindred, and is therefore always represented as blind, that we may suppose her thoughts are wholly intent on the equity of a cause, without being diverted or prejudiced by objects foreign to it.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1713-07-04), The Guardian, No. 99
