Famous quotes containing the word people:

    For people who have no critical acumen, a state is a mythical entity, for those who think critically it is a rational fiction, created by man in order to facilitate human coexistence.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    Old people working. Making a gift of garden.
    Or washing a car, so some one else may ride.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    What people don’t realize is that intimacy has its conventions as well as ordinary social intercourse. There are three cardinal rules—don’t take somebody else’s boyfriend unless you’ve been specifically invited to do so, don’t take a drink without being asked, and keep a scrupulous accounting in financial matters.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
