Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or people:
“a notable prince that was called King John;
And he ruled England with main and with might,
For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”

“Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happycommon clay, if you likeeating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you cant imagine dead. And then there are the othersthe noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.”
—Jean Anouilh (19101987)
