Lay/people

Famous quotes containing the words lay and/or people:

    he lay down with those strange women, his face in the alley,
    One shoe off, cinders in his mouth, his eyelids heavy.
    When they shouted questions at him, he talked back to nobody.
    David Wagoner (b. 1926)

    The unlucky hand dealt to clear and precise writers is that people assume they are superficial and so do not go to any trouble in reading them: and the lucky hand dealt to unclear ones is that the reader does go to some trouble and then attributes the pleasure he experiences in his own zeal to them.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
