Famous quotes containing the word people:

—Hector Babenko (b. 1946)
“Politicians—power itself—are abject because they merely embody the profound contempt people have for their own lives....

This inevitably kills them but they get their revenge by passing onto others the corpse of power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“A consensus politician is someone who does something that he doesn’t believe is right because it keeps people quiet when he does it.”
—John Major (b. 1943)
