Porter/people

Famous quotes containing the words porter and/or people:

“Vanity is so anchored in the heart of man that a soldier, a soldier’s servant, a cook, a porter brags and wishes to have his admirers. Even philosophers wish for them. Those who write against vanity want to have the glory of having written well; and those who read it desire the glory of having read it. I who write this have perhaps this desire, and perhaps those who will read it.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

“The responsibility of a writer is to excavate the experience of the people who produced him.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
