This quote suggests that prejudice, which is rooted in emotion rather than logic, cannot be dispelled through rational discourse alone. Simply presenting facts and logical arguments may not be effective in changing someone's prejudiced beliefs or attitudes. Emotions and personal experiences often play a larger role in shaping prejudices, making them resistant to logical persuasion.

Can one equate Darcy with pride and Elizabeth with prejudice?
I think only to a degree. In the end, both characters share in this theme but in different ways. Darcy is proud because of his position in society, and that leads him to scorn anyone outside of his social class at the start. Critic A. Walton Litz commented: "in Pride and Prejudice one cannot equate Darcy with Pride, or Elizabeth with Prejudice; Darcy's pride of place is founded on social prejudice, while Elizabeth's initial prejudice against him is rooted in pride of her own quick perceptions." So Darcy is proud of his position because of social prejudice. Elizabeth at first had prejudice against him because she was proud of her own judgement.
