Famous quotes containing the word people:
“What would it mean to live
in a city whose people were changing
each other’s despair into hope?—
You yourself must change it.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“For you are a people holy to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on earth to be his people, his treasured possession. It was not because you were more numerous than any other people that the LORD set his heart on you and chose you -for you were the fewest of all peoples.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 7:6,7.
“With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.”
