“Witches, warlocks, gremlins, orgres - they're just words,labels. Haven't you noticed that when people are labelled, their faces disappear?”
“Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people.”
“A label doesn't make something so. A label is just a word. It's what a person does that makes them who they are”
“People fall victim to labeling every day — mentally-challenged people, homosexuals, people of all ethnic groups, etc. You name it; we’ve slapped a heartless, ignorant label on it.”
“Labels are for cans, not people.”
“What? 'Borderline patients play games'? That what you said? Ernest, you'll never be a real therapist if you think like that.
