Famous quotes containing the words stereotypes, white and/or people:

    All stereotypes turn out to be true. This is a horrifying thing about life. All those things you fought against as a youth: you begin to realize they’re stereotypes because they’re true.
    David Cronenberg (b. 1943)

    the white eyes writhing in his face,
    His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
    If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
    Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
    Obscene as cancer,
    Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    The most important service rendered by the press and the magazines is that of educating people to approach printed matter with distrust.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
