About This Quote

It takes all sorts of people to make a world, as I've often heard, but I think there are some who could be spared, is a very classic quote. The author is Victoria Cross. It was written during the 1920s. It is still used by many people today.

The quote is an extension of the ancient idea that there are some people who aren't needed in society. We all need the help of others, but most everyone says that they are needed, not "some". However, consider how many people are actually "spared" from society.

How many are ignored or simply not thought of by anyone else?
