Famous quotes related to real people:
“‘I see nobody on the road,’ said Alice.
‘I only wish I had such eyes,’ the King remarked in a fretful tone. ‘To be able to see Nobody! And at that distance too! Why, it’s as much as I can do to see real people, by this light!’”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
