There Are Two Kinds of People in the World: Difference between revisions

* From ''[[The Acts of Caine|Blade of Tyshalle]]'':

{{quote|"You know what they say. There are two kinds of people in the world: [[Lampshade Hanging|people who say things like 'There are two kinds of people in the world', and people who know those first people are full of shit.]]"}}

* Humorist Robert Benchley once noted that there were two types of people in the world: people who believe that there are two types of people in the world, and people who don't.

** This was parodied in Donald Westlake's short story ''[http://www.donaldwestlake.com/shortstory2.html Don't You Know There's A War On?]'', in which the inhabitants of a planet consist of two types of people: people who believe what Robert Benchley said about there being two types of people in the world, and people who don't. And they've been fighting a war for several '''centuries''' about it.

{{quote|There are two kinds of people in this world. People who hate and fear clowns... and clowns.}}

* A classic one from Rainsford in ''[[The Most Dangerous Game]]'': "This world's divided into two kinds of people: the hunter and the hunted."

* Fisk tries to use this in the ''[[Knight and Rogue Series]]'' to describe what kind of nobleman Michael's father is, but can't help but admit that if he bothered to think about it he'd probably come up with at least thirty types.

{{quote|'''Alias''': Riding a wagon along protected trading routes in a guarded merchant caravan doesn't make you an adventurer. Until you've hiked more than twenty miles a day, slept in a ditch, and eaten something that tried to kill you first, you're not an adventurer. Anyone who isn't an adventurer is a greengrocer.}}
