Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Many people have believed that they were Chosen, but none more baldly than the Texans.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
“As to the whiskers, having never worn any, do you not think people would call it a piece of silly affectation if I were to begin it now?”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“There’s a quality of legend about freaks. Like a person in a fairy tale who stops you and demands that you answer a riddle. Most people go through life dreading they’ll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They’ve already passed their test in life. They’re aristocrats.”
—Diane Arbus (1923–1971)
