Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Writers aren’t people exactly. Or, if they’re any good, they’re a whole lot of people trying so hard to be one person. It’s like actors, who try so pathetically not to look in mirrors. Who lean backward trying—only to see their faces in the reflecting chandeliers.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“It was a good thing to have a couple of thousand people all rigid and frozen together, in the palm of one’s hand.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“One’s past is what one is. It is the only way by which people should be judged.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
