Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “All our civilization had meant nothing. The same culture that had nurtured the kindly enlightened people among whom I had been brought up, carried around with it war. Why should I not have known this? I did know it, but I did not believe it. I believed it as we believe we are going to die. Something that is to happen in some remote time.”
    —Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)

    “The people I respect most behave as if they were immortal and as if society was eternal.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “The only people who treasure systems are those whom the whole truth evades, who want to catch it by the tail. A system is just like truth’s tail, but the truth is like a lizard. It will leave the tail in your hand and escape; it knows that it will soon grow another tail.”
    —Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
