Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “Looks like we got a trial ahead of us. But it’s not the first time. We’ve had to go it alone before, and we’ll have to go it alone again. We’re tough. We’ve had to be tough ever since Brother Brigham led our people across the plain. Well, they survived and I dang it, we’ll, well, we’ll survive too. Now put out your fires and get to your wagons.”
    —Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

    “Lots of white people think black people are stupid. They are stupid themselves for thinking so, but regulation will not make them smarter.”
    —Stephen Carter (b. 1954)

    “To write weekly, to write daily, to write shortly, to write for busy people catching trains in the morning or for tired people coming home in the evening, is a heartbreaking task for men who know good writing from bad. They do it, but instinctively draw out of harm’s way anything precious that might be damaged by contact with the public, or anything sharp that might irritate its skin.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
