Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.”
—Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)
“There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use.”
—Mother Teresa (b. 1910)
“The one conclusive argument that has at all times discouraged people from drinking a poison is not that it kills but rather that it tastes bad.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
