Famous quotes containing the word people:
“A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
“I like people who like Plato.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Those who are unhappy have no need for anything in this world but people capable of giving them their attention.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
