Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Most people grow old within a small circle of ideas, which they have not discovered for themselves. There are perhaps less wrong-minded people than thoughtless.”
—Luc, Marquis de Vauvenargues (1715–1747)
“Gods always behave like the people who make them.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“I wish I could take back some of the things I said and some of the things I did. But in the bigger picture, I don’t feel that it was violent and terrible. I feel like it was primarily—obviously not completely—moral, based on a vision that the government should be better, and that people could be better, and that democracy should be real.”
—Bernardine Dohrn (b. 1942)
