Famous quotes containing the word people:
“The truth is that literature, particularly fiction, is not the pure medium we sometimes assume it to be. Response to it is affected by things other than its own intrinsic quality; by a curiosity or lack of it about the people it deals with, their outlook, their way of life.”
—Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
“Sometimes one likes foolish people for their folly, better than wise people for their wisdom.”
—Elizabeth Gaskell (1810–1865)
“Only people who have been allowed to practise freedom can have the grown-up look in their eyes.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
