Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happycommon clay, if you likeeating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you cant imagine dead. And then there are the othersthe noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.”
—Jean Anouilh (19101987)
“Chinese were born ... with an accumulated wisdom, a natural sophistication, an intelligent naivete, and unless they were transplanted too young, these qualities ripened in them.... If ever I am homesick for China, now that I am home in my own country, it is when I discover here no philosophy. Our people have opinions and creeds and prejudices and ideas but as yet no philosophy.”
—Pearl S. Buck (18921973)
“Im the kind of writer that people think other people are reading.”
