Famous quotes containing the word people:
“I thought that’s what this war was about. Making people pay taxes when they didn’t have no say so about it.”
—Lamar Trotti (1898–1952)
“With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“A woman can get marries and her life does change. And a man can get married and his life changes. But nothing changes life as dramatically as having a child. . . . In this country, it is a particular experience, a rite of passage, if you will, that is unsupported for the most part, and rather ignored. Somebody will send you a couple of presents for the baby, but people do not acknowledge the massive experience to the parents involved.”
—Dana Raphael (20th century)
