Famous quotes containing the word people:
“I can get dressed earlier in the evening with every intention of going to a dance at midnight, but somehow after the theatre the thing to do seems to be either to go to bed or sit around somewhere. It doesnt seem possible that somewhere people can be expecting you at an hour like that.”
—Robert Benchley (18891945)
