Held/people

Famous quotes containing the words held and/or people:

“The earth is not earth but a stone,
Not the mother that held men as they fell
But stone, but like a stone, no: not
The mother, but an oppressor, but like
An oppressor that grudges them their death,
As it grudges the living that they live.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
