Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “In this nadir of poetic repute, when the only verse that most people read from one year’s end to the next is what appears on greetings cards, it is well for us to stop and consider our poets.... Poets are the leaven in the lump of civilization.”
    —Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)

    “When three people are walking together, there must be a teacher for me.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    Confucian Analects.

    “Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happy—common clay, if you like—eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can’t imagine dead. And then there are the others—the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.”
    —Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)
