Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Watt had watched people smile and thought he understood how it was done.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“Many people operate under the assumption that since parenting is a natural adult function, we should instinctively know how to do it—and do it well. The truth is, effective parenting requires study and practice like any other skilled profession. Who would even consider turning an untrained surgeon loose in an operating room? Yet we “operate” on our children every day.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
“[When asked by the judge, after her first arrest, at age 15: “Do you expect to convert people to socialism by talking on Broadway?”:] Indeed I do.”
—Elizabeth Gurley Flynn (1890–1964)
