Famous quotes containing the word people:
“POET
If not in a place, where are the People weeping?
LIBERAL
They creep weeping in the face, not place.
POET

The weeping, the creeping, the peepee-ing, the peeping?”

“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)
“Mere human beings can’t afford to be fanatical about anything.... Not even about justice or loyalty. The fanatic for justice ends by murdering a million helpless people to clear a space for his law-courts. If we are to survive on this planet, there must be compromises.”
—Storm Jameson (1891–1986)
