Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or people:

    a notable prince that was called King John;
    And he ruled England with main and with might,
    For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.
    —Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 2–4)

    But when did love not try to change
    The world back to itself no cost,
    No past, no people else at all
    Only what meeting made us feel,
    So new, and gentle-sharp, and strange?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
