Famous quotes containing the word people:
“If people would forget about utopia! When rationalism destroyed heaven and decided to set it up here on earth, that most terrible of all goals entered human ambition. It was clear there’d be no end to what people would be made to suffer for it.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“The surest sign that two people no longer speak the same language is that both say ironic things to one another but that neither senses the irony.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“So people and things don’t pair anymore
With what they used to pair with before.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
