About People (Classic Reprint) ~ Paperback ~ Kate Gannett Wells

Excerpt from About People Average people are the ballast of the world. Notwithstanding their usefulness, how few people are willing to be ranked as average! How many secretly feel that they are beyond the limits of that epithet, and that their acquaintances are just below it! Those who think they have escaped the boundary line, and are to be classed with remarkable people, indulge in a perpetual mirage of thought, which, to themselves, inverts their hulk of commonplaceness into mast-heads of prominence.
