Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or people:

    “Those famous men of old, the Ogres—
    They had long beards and stinking arm-pits,
    They were wide-mouthed, long-yarded and great-bellied
    Yet not of taller stature, Sirs, than you.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    “Take a red book called TELEPHONE,
    size eight by four. There it sits.
    My red book, name, address and number.
    These are all people that I somehow own.
    Yet some of these names are counterfeit.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
