Answer and Explanation:

Here, Gordon Allport's quote can substantially mean that "Deep-seated pessimistic feelings may prevail, even when a individual cognize consciously that a bias is erroneous."

This quote can be also stated as Deeply entrenched negativity lasts long till the time one becomes aware of their long held grudges that are out-rightly wrong.
