Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Usually, when people talk about the “strength” of black women they are referring to the way in which they perceive black women coping with oppression. They ignore the reality that to be strong in the face of oppression is not the same as overcoming oppression, that endurance is not to be confused with transformation.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“So people and things don’t pair anymore
With what they used to pair with before.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“You know people exaggerate that all is wild in Jamaica. I think that sometimes people fire a shot to try to make you nervous. They are not trying to hurt you.”
—Michael Manley (b. 1924)
