“Nature's noblemen are everywhere,--in town and out of town, gloved and rough-handed, rich and poor. Prejudice against a lord, because he is a lord, is losing the chance of finding a good fellow, as much as prejudice against a ploughman because he is a ploughman.” ChancePoorLordRichFindingsLosingPrejudiceTownsFellowsRoughNobilityRich And PoorNoblemen Book:Out-doors at Idlewild: Or, The Shaping of a Home on the Banks of the Hudson Source: Out-doors at Idlewild: Or, The Shaping of a Home on the Banks of the Hudson

But still - when people ask me 'do you think your politics have decreased your chances of working, I say: 'In Hollywood, most of the prejudice has to do with if you're old or fat.'

“One thing has not changed: to doubt the worth of minority students' achievement when they succeed is really only to present another face of the prejudice that would deny them a chance to even try.
