Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “We come and go, but the land is always here. And the people who love it and understand it are the people who own it—for a little while.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “Did you know, Putnam, that more murders are committed at 92 Fahrenheit than any other temperature? I read an article once. Lower temperatures, people are easygoing. Over 92, it’s too hot to move. But just 92, people get irritable.”
    —Harry Essex (b. 1910)

    “What is a life or two, Guy! Some people are better off dead. Like your wife and my father, for instance.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
