Famous quotes containing the word people:

    The very purpose of existence is to reconcile the glowing opinion we have of ourselves with the appalling things that other people think about us.
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    It is always possible to bind together a considerable number of people in love, so long as there are other people left over to receive the manifestations of their aggression.
    Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    I have always suspected that too much knowledge is a dangerous thing. It is a boon to people who don’t have deep feelings; their pleasure comes from what they know about things, and their pride from showing off what they know. But this only emphasizes the difference between the artist and the scholar.
    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
