Jane Jacobs

Even dress is apt to inflame a man's opinion of himself.

Henry Home, Lord Kames

We are all apt to think that an opinion that differs from our own is a prejudice.

Maria Edgeworth

Everyone should have their own opinion and be able to voice it. No matter what it is. Of course, that does not mean your opinion is always right. But, you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

I haven't much opinion of words. They're apt to set fire to a dry tongue, that's what I say.

Ellen Glasgow

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, and I feel like everyone judges people: regardless of whether they know someone or not, they have an opinion based on the persona of the person. I guess you can only have a real opinion of who they are as a person once you meet someone.
