Berger/people

Famous quotes containing the words berger and/or people:

    When we suffer anguish we return to early childhood because that is the period in which we first learnt to suffer the experience of total loss. It was more than that. It was the period in which we suffered more total losses than in all the rest of our life put together.
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    There are people who indulge themselves in a sort of lying, which they reckon innocent, and which in one sense is so; for it hurts nobody but themselves. This sort of lying is the spurious offspring of vanity, begotten upon folly.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
