Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “It’s easy to forget how central the French people are in everything we mean when we say Europe.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “The law is only one of several imperfect and more or less external ways of defending what is better in life against what is worse. By itself, the law can never create anything better.... Establishing respect for the law does not automatically ensure a better life for that, after all, is a job for people and not for laws and institutions.”
    —Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    “If only people would realize that moral principles are like measles.... They have to be caught. And only the people who’ve got them can pass on the contagion.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
