Famous quotes containing the words people and/or involved:
“The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That’s one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population—the intelligent ones or the fools? I think we can agree it’s the fools, no matter where you go in this world, it’s the fools that form the overwhelming majority.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“Are you involved in politics now? Leave that to the writers and to the ugly girls.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
