Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “The authoritarian child-rearing style so often found in working-class families stems in part from the fact that parents see around them so many young people whose lives are touched by the pain and delinquency that so often accompanies a life of poverty. Therefore, these parents live in fear for their children’s future—fear that they’ll lose control, that the children will wind up on the streets or, worse yet, in jail.”
    —Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)

    “Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves—and the only way they could do this is by not voting.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort?... Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that’s making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?”
    —John Lennon (1940–1980)
