Bias has to be taught

“I believe that whoever tries to think things through honestly will soon recognize how unworthy and even fatal is the traditional bias against Negroes.

He must have the courage to set an example by words and deed, and must watch lest his children become influenced by racial bias.”     Albert Einstein

“People who lose their parents when young are permanently in love with them.”     Aharon Appelfeld

“Natural selection, as it has operated in human history, favors not only the clever but the murderous.”     Barbara Ehrenreich

“Many people hear voices when no-one is there. Some of them are called mad and are shut up on rooms where they stare at the walls all day. Others are called writers and they do pretty much the same thing.”     Meg Chittenden

“Most great men and women are not perfectly rounded in their personalities, but are instead people whose one driving enthusiasm is so great it makes their faults seem insignificant.”     Charles A. Cerami
