Famous quotes containing the words shy and/or people:
“Although adults have a role to play in teaching social skills to children, it is often best that they play it unobtrusively. In particular, adults must guard against embarrassing unskilled children by correcting them too publicly and against labeling children as shy in ways that may lead the children to see themselves in just that way.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
“There are people who, like houses, are beautiful in dilapidation.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
