About This Quote
I shiver, thinking how easy it is to be totally wrong about people-to see one tiny part of them and confuse it for the whole, to see the cause and think it's the effect or vice versa. -The quote by Mollie Hunter talks about how we often jump to conclusions before even having all the facts. We tend to judge people very quickly without really knowing them at all. This can be a bad thing because we might not know what is good for our own lives.
The quote itself is talking about how people’s actions can be misconstrued as what they are truly like, but that’s not always the case. People are complex creatures, and of course there are some who act in ways that you would never expect, but of course there are also some who act just how you would expect, or at least you think they would act.
