Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “Rulers, who neither see, nor feel, nor know,
    But leech-like to their fainting country cling,
    Till they drop, blind in blood, without a blow,—
    A people starved and stabbed in the untilled field.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.”
    —George Gurdjieff (c. 1877–1949)
