Quotes About Inferiority

If there is one man to whom I do feel myself inferior, it is a coal-miner.
~ George Orwell
Ayaktak?m? öyle aÅŸa??l?k bir yarat?kt?r ki boÅŸ vakti kal?rsa tehlike arz eder; onu düÅŸünemeyecek kadar meÅŸgul tutmak daha güvenlidir.
~ George Orwell
Before the Revolution they had been hideously oppressed by the capitalists, they had been starved and flogged, women had been forced to work in the coal mines (women still did work in the coal mines, as a matter of fact), children had been sold into the factories at the age of six. But simultaneously, true to the principles of doublethink, the Party taught that the proles were natural inferiors who must be kept in subjection, like animals, by the application of a few simple rules.
~ George Orwell
The group within the cloak of secrecy is superior to the rest. Those not eligible for initiation are at best inferiors. They may be the enemy.
~ Sarah Chayes
If she had been created on a philosophical specimen dish then her genetic beliefs had been altered to make her more resilient and assured of herself, more companionable to her own kind. She had not been exposed to a world of inferiority or cattiness, nor male dominance.
~ Sarah Hall
STOP JUDGING AND EVALUATING YOURSELF, for this is not your role. Above all, stop comparing yourself with other people. This produces feelings of pride or inferiority, sometimes a mixture of both. I lead each of My children along a path that is uniquely tailor-made for him or her. Comparing is not only wrong; it is also meaningless. Don't look for affirmation in the wrong places: your own evaluations or those of other people. The only source of real affirmation is My unconditional Love.
~ Sarah Young

and see ominous clouds of inferiority beginning to form in her little mental sky...
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. All segregation statutes are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality. It gives the segregator a false sense of superiority and the segregated a false sense of inferiority.
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
ich so sehr eine Konkurrenz für Dich, wie eine Pfütze als Meer gilt
~ Arthur Golden
The French attitude to the Finnish War reminded one of the voyeur who gets his thrills out of other people's virile exploits, which he is unable to imitate
~ Arthur Koestler
That the Negroes were enslaved more than other races, and on a large scale, is evidently a result of their being, in contrast to other races, inferior in intelligence - which, however, does not justify such slavery
~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Men who are afraid to feel must keep women around to do their feeling for them while dismissing us for the same supposedly "inferior" capacity to feel deeply. But in this way also, men deny themselves their own essential humanity, trapped in dependency and fear.
~ Audre Lorde

Men who are afraid to feel must keep women around to do their feeling for them while dismissing us for the same supposedly inferior capacity to feel deeply. But in this way also, men deny themselves their own essential humanity, becoming trapped in dependency and fear.
~ Audre Lorde
Much of western european history conditions us to see human differences in simplistic opposition to each other: dominant/subordinate, good/bad, up/down, superior/inferior. In a society where the good is defined in terms of profit rather than in terms of human need, there must always be some group of people who, through systematized oppression, can be made to feel surplus, to occupy the place of the dehumanized inferior.
~ Audre Lorde
A lack of "self-esteem" really suggests a feeling of shame over being one's self. Shame is the landfill emotion. It's not organic, like joy. It was dumped there by somebody else. A manipulation. Shame is very heavy, dense disappointment; somebody else's, in you. Inside of disappointment is a deeper judgment: Less than. Inferior. Defective.
~ Augusten Burroughs
The question of whether one alleges the Superiority or Inferiority of any given race is irrelevant; racism has only one psychological root: the racist's sense of his own Inferiority.
~ Ayn Rand
In pride we consciously elevate our own standing and concerns and look down upon others as essentially inferior.
~ Stephen Batchelor
Everyone else new you ever meet, and this continues through life, is stronger than you are, knows the system better and sees right through to the back of your brain and finds what they see to be wholly inadequate. Everyone you encounter carries, as it were, a huge club behind their back, while all you hold behind yours is a weedy cotton-bud.
~ Stephen Fry
Welcome to the wonderful world of jealousy, he thought. For the price of admission, you get a splitting headache, a nearly irresistable urge to commit murder, and an inferiority complex. Yippee.
~ J.R. Ward, Dark Lover
El hombre que se cree superior, inferior o incluso igual a otro hombre no conoce la realidad.»
~ Emmanuel Carrère
L'uomo che si ritiene superiore, inferiore o anche uguale a un altro non capisce la realtà' rappresenta il vertice della saggezza e non basta una vita a farsene permeare, ad assimilarla, ad interiorizzarla in modo che cessi di essere un'idea e plasmi invece il nostro modo di vedere e di agire in ogni situazione
~ Emmanuel Carrère
Todo el mundo aconseja, no por bondad y desprendimiento, sino porque el consejo lleva implícita la inferioridad del aconsejado.
~ Enrique Jardiel Poncela
