Famous quotes containing the word people:

    There are people who can write their memoirs with a reasonable amount of honesty, and there are people who simply cannot take themselves seriously enough. I think I might be the first to admit that the sort of reticence which prevents a man from exploiting his own personality is really an inverted sort of egotism.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    Do not tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don’t tell them where they know the fish.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    [Asked by an interviewer, “What do YOU want to be?”]: What people want me to be.
    Joan Crawford (1908–1977)
