Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Nobody is saying that these people do not ultimately cease to be. And
Sometimes their passings are even more painful than ours.
It is just that so often they live till their hair is white.
They make excellent corpses, among the expensive flowers. . . .”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“Mere human beings can’t afford to be fanatical about anything.... Not even about justice or loyalty. The fanatic for justice ends by murdering a million helpless people to clear a space for his law-courts. If we are to survive on this planet, there must be compromises.”
—Storm Jameson (1891–1986)
“Christ: I dislike him very much; still I can stand him. What I cannot stand is the wretched band of people whose profession is to hoodwink us about him.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
