People Lived

Famous quotes containing the words people and/or lived:

“What would it mean to live
in a city whose people were changing
each other’s despair into hope?—
You yourself must change it.”

“An age is the reversal of an age:
When strangers murdered Emmet, Fitzgerald, Tone,
We lived like men that watch a painted stage.
What matter for the scene, the scene once gone:
It had not touched our lives.”
