Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “There used to be a thing or a commodity we put great store by. It was called the People. Find out where the People have gone. I don’t mean the square-eyed toothpaste-and-hair-dye people or the new-car-or-bust people, or the success-and-coronary people. Maybe they never existed, but if there ever were the People, that’s the commodity the Declaration was talking about, and Mr. Lincoln.”
    —John Steinbeck (1902–1968)

    “There’re two people in the world that are not likeable: a master and a slave.”
    —Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)

    “I know that Europe’s wonderful, yet something seems to lack;
    The Past is too much with her, and the people looking back.”
    —Henry Van Dyke (1852–1933)
