Famous quotes containing the words groups of, groups and/or people:

    In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other’s affairs, who “come out” together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    Only the groups which exclude us have magic.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    The President is the direct representative of the American people ... [and is] elected by the people and responsible to them.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
