"You're 5 feet nothing, a hundred and nothing"
- Charles S. Dutton
About this Quote
The quote "You're 5 feet absolutely nothing, a hundred and nothing" uttered by Charles S. Dutton talks to the speaker's attempt to demoralize the person they are dealing with. By decreasing them to their physical attributes of being only 5 feet tall and weighing only 100 pounds, the speaker is implying that they are insignificant and can be easily ignored or discarded. Using numbers in this quote further stresses the speaker's effort to measure and determine the person's worth. However, the intent of the quote is to disempower and belittle, instead of to uplift or inspire.
