Famous quotes containing the word people:

“The world is eaten up by boredom.... You can’t see it all at once. It is like dust. You go about and never notice, you breathe it in, you eat and drink it. It is sifted so fine, it doesn’t even grit on your teeth. But stand still for an instant and there it is, coating your face and hands. To shake off this drizzle of ashes you must be for ever on the go. And so people are always “on the go.””
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)

“He hates chess. He says it is a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something clever when they are only wasting their time.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“Gold cannot be pure, and people cannot be perfect.”
—Chinese proverb.
