Famous quotes containing the word people:

    The earth had a single light afar,
    A flickering, human pathetic light,
    That was maintained against the night,
    It seemed to me, by the people there,
    With a Godforsaken brute despair.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was nearer; for God thought, “If the people face war, they may change their minds and return to Egypt.”
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 13:17.

    Sometimes people who are never alone are the loneliest, don’t you think so?
    —A.I. (Albert Isaac)
