We put labels on people and fight wars over them. If we truly want harmony, we have to get past the labels.

Wayne Dyer

It's poor judgment', said Grandpa 'to call anything by a name. We don't know what a hobgoblin or a vampire or a troll is. Could be lots of things. You can't heave them into categories with labels and say they'll act one way or another. That'd be silly. They're people. People who do things. Yes, that's the way to put it. People who *do* things.

Ray Bradbury

Everybody uses labels: they give you a handle on things - an over-simplified handle, sure, but without labels, without ads, without words, the world would be an indistinguishable mass, a blur. You can hope, maybe, that people ascribe so many labels to you that none wins out

Vito Acconci

When people put labels on us, it doesn't always enclose everything that we are. So even though I'm proud to be Somali, I'm proud to be American, at the end of the day, I'm still Halima, and I take things from both sides and combine them, and I make my own little category. I'm me!

Halima Aden

It's funny how we like labels. If I ever have a bookstore, I'm not going to put any labels on the sections.

Audrey Niffenegger

I hate labels, and I wear no labels. When a man has to put something around his neck and say I am, he isn't.

Pearl Bailey

We are too quick to put labels on things. It is my profession. I get up and paint. Everyone wants to put a label on it, but I am a free spirit, so I fight against that.

Geoffrey Holder

They always like to put labels on me.

Scott Garrett

Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people.

Martina Navratilova

There are people who are genetically made to start record labels, and I'm not one of those people. People just have it in their blood and are good at it. Corey Rusk from Touch and Go and Ian MacKaye. These are people who have made their own labels.

Fred Armisen

Don't put labels on people. See them as people who Christ died for.

Henry Blackaby

I was always looking to record, but how much I actually pursued it was another thing. The major labels weren't that interested in me, and the smaller labels didn't have any money to do anything.
