Osborne/people

Famous quotes containing the words osborne and/or people:

    Why do I do this every Sunday? Even the book reviews seem to be the same as last week’s. Different books—same reviews.
    —John Osborne (1929–1994)

    Clogged and soft and sloppy eyes
    Have lost the light that bites or terrifies.
    There are no swans and swallows any more.
    The people settled for chicken and shut the door.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
