Deaf People

Famous quotes containing the words deaf and/or people:

    I will be deaf to pleading and excuses.
    Nor tears nor prayers shall purchase out abuses.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There used to be a thing or a commodity we put great store by. It was called the People. Find out where the People have gone. I don’t mean the square-eyed toothpaste-and-hair-dye people or the new-car-or-bust people, or the success-and-coronary people. Maybe they never existed, but if there ever were the People, that’s the commodity the Declaration was talking about, and Mr. Lincoln.
    John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
