Naomi WolfYou do not win by struggling to the top of a caste system, you win by refusing to be trapped within one at all.
About This Quote
The caste system in India is a subject that deserves its own article. The point is that the caste system exists and the people in it still suffer and fight for justice and equality. In this quote, Mandela is pointing out that instead of struggling to improve our communities we should fight to get out of communities altogether. It would be better to refuse to participate in any community; by refusing we avoid all of the pitfalls of preconceived notions and other people’s expectations. As individuals, we can find our own way to success.
