Famous quotes containing the word types:

    “The rank and file have let their servants become their masters and dictators.... Provision should be made in all union constitutions for the recall of leaders. Big salaries should not be paid. Career hunters should be driven out, as well as leaders who use labor for political ends. These types are menaces to the advancement of labor.”
    —Mother Jones (1830–1930)

    “The American man is a very simple and cheap mechanism. The American woman I find a complicated and expensive one. Contrasts of feminine types are possible. I am not absolutely sure that there is more than one American man.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “He’s one of those know-it-all types that, if you flatter the wig off him, he chatter like a goony bird at mating time.”
    —Michael Blankfort. Lewis Milestone. Johnson (Reginald Gardner)
