Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “Simone Clouseau: We can’t just let him rot in prison.
    Sir Charles: Oh, it takes years for people to rot.”
    —Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

    “Let my people go.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Exodus, 5:1.

    The plea of Aaron and Moses to Pharaoh.

    “But it isn’t only the terror everywhere, and the fear of being conscious of it, that freezes people. It’s more than that. People know they are in a society dead or dying. They are refusing emotion because at the end of very emotion are property, money, power. They work and despise their work, and so freeze themselves. They love but know that it’s a half- love or a twisted love, and so they freeze themselves.”
    —Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
