Famous quotes containing the word people:
“The law is only one of several imperfect and more or less external ways of defending what is better in life against what is worse. By itself, the law can never create anything better.... Establishing respect for the law does not automatically ensure a better life for that, after all, is a job for people and not for laws and institutions.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“One way to think about play, is as the process of finding new combinations for known thingscombinations that may yield new forms of expression, new inventions, new discoveries, and new solutions....Its exactly what childrens play seems to be about and explains why so many people have come to think that childrens play is so important a part of childhoodand beyond.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“These people figured video was the Lords preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. Hes in the de-tails, Sublett had said once. You gotta watch for Him close.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
