People Spoke

Famous quotes containing the words people and/or spoke:

“Many people I know in Los Angeles believe that the Sixties ended abruptly on August 9, 1969, ended at the exact moment when word of the murders on Cielo Drive traveled like brushfire through the community, and in a sense this is true. The tension broke that day. The paranoia was fulfilled.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1935)

“The women that I picked spoke sweet and low
And yet gave tongue. “Hound voices” were they all.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
