Famous quotes containing the word people:
“The people we have employed in an undertaking that has turned out badly should be doubly rewarded.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“...some sort of false logic has crept into our schools, for the people whom I have seen doing housework or cooking know nothing of botany or chemistry, and the people who know botany and chemistry do not cook or sweep. The conclusion seems to be, if one knows chemistry she must not cook or do housework.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“There are people who want to make men’s lives more difficult for no other reason than the chance it provides them afterwards to offer their prescription for alleviating life—their Christianity, for instance.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
