Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “Yes, that’s what I needed. Living flesh from humans for my experiments. What difference did it make if a few people had to die? Their flesh taught me how to manufacture arms, legs, faces that are human. I’ll make a crippled world whole again.”
    —Robert Tusker, and Michael Curtiz. Wells (Preston Foster)

    “[T]he minister preached a sermon on Jonah and the whale, at the end of which an old chief arose and declared, “We have heard several of the white people talk and lie; we know they will lie, but this is the biggest lie we ever heard.””
    —Administration in the State of Miss, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Endeavor, as much as you can, to keep company with people above you.... Do not mistake, when I say company above you, and think that I mean with regard to their birth; that is the least consideration; but I mean with regard to their merit, and the light in which the world considers them.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
