Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or people:
“Marrying any man is risky. Marrying a famous man is kissing catastrophe.”
—John Colton (1886–1946)
“The presence of a grandparent confirms that parents were, indeed, little once, too, and that people who are little can grow to be big, can become parents, and one day even have grandchildren of their own. So often we think of grandparents as belonging to the past; but in this important way, grandparents, for young children, belong to the future.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
