No one truly knows what they will do in a certain situation until they are actually in it. It's very easy to judge someone else's actions by what you assume your own would be, if you were in their shoes. But we only know what we THINK we would do, not what we WOULD do.

My people are few. They resemble the scattering trees of a storm-swept plain...There was a time when our people covered the land as the waves of a wind-ruffled sea cover its shell-paved floor, but that time long since passed away with the greatness of tribes that are now but a mournful memory.
~ Chief Seattle
I hated labels anyway. People didn't fit in slots--prostitute, housewife, saint--like sorting the mail. We were so mutable, fluid with fear and desire, ideals and angles, changeable as water.
~ Janet Fitch
I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever nowadays.

I myself am not afraid of ghosts, I am afraid of people.
~ Emilie Autumn
People are so fucking dumb. Nobody reads anymore, nobody goes out and looks and explores the society and culture they were brought up in. People have attention spans of five seconds and as much depth as a glass of water.
~ David Bowie
And pity--people who inspire it in you are actually very powerful people. To get someone else to take care of you, to feel sorry for you--that takes a lot of strength, smarts, manipulation. Very powerful people.
~ Deb Caletti
When people tell a lie about something, they have to make up a bunch of lies to go with the first one. ‘Mythomania’ is the word for it.

I think if human beings had genuine courage, they'd wear their costumes every day of the year, not just on Halloween. Wouldn't life be more interesting that way? And now that I think about it, why the heck don't they? Who made the rule that everybody has to dress like sheep 364 days of the year? Think of all the people you'd meet if they were in costume every day. People would be so much easier to talk to - like talking to dogs.
~ Douglas Coupland
Some people are magic, and others are just the illusion of it.
~ Beau Taplin
Masks beneath masks until suddenly the bare bloodless skull.
~ Salman Rushdie
I think that my job is to observe people and the world, and not to judge them. I always hope to position myself away from so-called conclusions. I would like to leave everything wide open to all the possibilities in the world.
So this is hell. I'd never have believed it. You remember all we were told about the torture-chambers, the fire and brimstone, the burning marl. Old wives' tales! There's no need for red-hot pokers. Hell is—other people!
~ Jean-Paul Sartre
Human nature is like water. It takes the shape of its container.
~ Wallace Stevens
I wanted to tell people, My depression is acting up today as an excuse for not seeing them, but I never managed to pull it off.

Most people are full of themselves and speak only the obnoxiously superficial, in other words they're annoying as hell
~ Novala Takemoto
It is no use trying to sum people up.
~ Virginia Woolf
I find people confusing.
~ Mark Haddon
The human mind isn't a terribly logical or consistent place. Most people, given the choice to face a hideous or terrifying truth or to conveniently avoid it, choose the convenience and peace of normality. That doesn't make them strong or weak people, or good or bad people. It just makes them people.
~ Jim Butcher
people don't change, they just have momentary steps outside of their true character
~ Chad Kultgen
I have one problem, I don’t hate people. They disgust me and I want to get away from them. I do not have hatred. I have an escape mechanism.

Life isn’t like the movies. People don’t change overnight. people don’t go from arrogant and self-righteous to ashamed and remorseful. They don’t suddenly give in when they’ve spent years taking out. No doesn’t magically become a Yes.
~ Randa Abdel-Fattah
As long as you hate, there will be people to hate.
~ George Harrison
