Famous quotes containing the word people:

    The problem is simply this: no one can feel like CEO of his or her life in the presence of the people who toilet trained her and spanked him when he was naughty. We may have become Masters of the Universe, accustomed to giving life and taking it away, casually ordering people into battle or out of their jobs . . . and yet we may still dirty our diapers at the sound of our mommy’s whimper or our daddy’s growl.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)

    You can be much more alone with other people than you are by yourself. Even if it’s people you love.
    Philip Dunne (1908–1992)

    I want people to be sincere; a man of honor shouldn’t speak a single word that doesn’t come straight from his heart.
    Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
