"All stereotypes turn out to be true. This is a horrifying thing about life. All those things you fought against as a youth: you begin to realize they're stereotypes because they're true"
- David Cronenberg
About this Quote
This quote by David Cronenberg talks to the idea that stereotypes are often rooted in truth. This can be a difficult realization to come to, as it can be discouraging to find out that the things we have actually fought against in our youth are really real. It can be a scary thing to come to terms with, as it can be tough to accept that the world is not as we had actually hoped it would be. However, it is very important to keep in mind that stereotypes are not constantly true, and that it is important to challenge them and strive for a more equitable society.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
