“There are, and always have been, destructive pseudo-scientific notions linked to race and religion; these are the most widespread and damaging. Hopefully, educated people can succeed in shedding light into these areas of prejudice and ignorance, for as Voltaire once said: "Men will commit atrocities as long as they believe absurdities."” PeopleMenBelieveLongHas BeensSaidLightRaceIgnoranceSucceedAreasPrejudiceNotionCommitEducatedHopefullyDestructiveAbsurdityLinkedAtrocitiesPseudoRace And ReligionShedding Light Author:Martin Gardner
“In recent years a new International System has been developing, oriented toward the establishment of norms and principles of universal jurisdiction, above national sovereignty, in the areas of what is called the New Agenda...we have to confront ..... what I dare to call the Anglo-Saxon prejudice against the establishment of supra-national organizations.” YearsHas BeensPrinciplesAreasOrganizationUniversalPrejudiceInternationalDareDevelopingAgendasEstablishmentSovereigntyNormNew AgeJurisdictionAnglo SaxonNational Sovereignty Author:Vicente Fox
“If you are religious, you believe that your religion is the 'right' one—and, in many cases, all others will be sent to hell. Similarly, a nationalist believes his or her nation is better or more advanced—and a racist believes that an inherent difference between each race make his or her ethnicity superior. All of these ideologies spawn the hate, philosophical disagreements, and prejudices that have been the catalysts for various atrocious acts throughout history.” IfsBelieveHas BeensHateNationsDifferencesReligiousRaceCasesHellPrejudicePhilosophicalVariousSuperiorsIdeologyRacistInherentDisagreementCatalystEthnicitySpawn Author:David G.

“I've always been intrigued with the male characters in novels like 'Pride and Prejudice' such as Mr. Darcy, and this poem is part of a series of poems that explore desire and obsessions. The poems have been sitting in a drawer for a few years, so I decided to dust them off and work on them again since I have not written a new poem in more than three years. I'm not sure anything will become of the series, but at least it gives me something to work on in a period where I feel very uncreative.” GivingFeelsYearsHas BeensCharacterDesireThreeNovelWrittenPridePeriodsSittingDecidedGive MePrejudiceSeriesMalesObsessionDustNot SureThree YearsIntriguedDrawersDarcy Author:Victoria Chang
