Famous quotes containing the words people and/or freedom:
“In the capsule biography by which most of the people knew one another, I was understood to be an Air Force pilot whose family was wealthy and lived in the East, and I even added the detail that I had a broken marriage and drank to get over it.... I sometimes believed what I said and tried to take the cure in the very real sun of Desert D’Or with its cactus, its mountain, and the bright green foliage of its love and its money.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free.”
—Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
