Famous quotes containing the words deaf and/or people:
“I have loved her all my youth,
But now old, as you see;
Love likes not the falling fruit
From the withered tree.
Know that love is a careless child
And forgets promise past;
He is blind, he is deaf when he list
And in faith never fast.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?1618)

—Maggie Holmes, African American domestic worker. As quoted in Working, book 3, by Studs Terkel (1973)
