Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “No man tastes pleasures truly, who does not earn them by previous business; and few people do business well, who do nothing else.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happy—common clay, if you like—eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can’t imagine dead. And then there are the others—the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.”
    —Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)

    “I’m coming home. I remember your saying when I left that people were dying and that I was crapping around with fate to come here. You were more right than you could imagine.”
    —Judith Rascoe, U.S. screenwriter, Robert Stone (b. 1939)
