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

Martina Navratilova

I have a fear of labels. If someone labels me, I have to respond - do I acknowledge it, reject it, deny it, live up to it, and defy it? Labels can affect your ability to be yourself. If you're not careful, like I wasn't when I was young, that can take a toll on you. You find yourself conforming to everyone else's ideas of who you are.

B. D. Wong

I like the labels because I think they tell my story in a very concise way: gay, Latino. I think the responsibility that comes with accepting labels is that now I get a chance to break stereotypes. It gives me the opportunity to tell the unique stories of what those labels mean.

Richard Blanco

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

The most important thing to remember about food labels is that you should avoid foods that have labels.

Joel Fuhrman

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

We talk about sexual harassment in the workplace, but there's sexual harassment in schools, right? There's sexual harassment on the street. So there's a larger conversation to be had. And I think it will be a disservice to people if we couch this conversation in about what happens in Hollywood or what happens in even political offices.

Tarana Burke

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

Wayne Dyer

Uncritical semantics is the myth of a museum in which the exhibits are meanings and the words are labels. To switch languages is to change the labels.

Willard Van Orman Quine

People don't know how to reach record labels, and a lot of time labels don't listen to stuff that's sent in randomly.

Perez Hilton

If you look at something like Spotify, many record labels are investors in the company. So from that standpoint, the money is all going back into the labels.

Om Malik

Equal Vision seems to be doing really well. A lot of these major labels are just imploding and becoming indie labels, anyway.

Vic Fuentes

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.

Dan Hicks

People lost the capacity of using their brain. It's all about the label. Not about the labels showing but subtlety of the labels.

Barbara Hulanicki

I would prefer a society where we don't have to explain ourselves. But I get that many people just need those labels to understand it. And if I make my situation or beliefs more understandable by putting labels on it, I'm happy to do it.

Conchita Wurst
