Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “When you’ve been blind as long as I have, you learn to see through your senses. I can’t explain it exactly, but you get a feeling about people when you meet them. You see a picture of them in your mind. Not just what they look like, but what they really are. You see them much more clearly than you do with your eyes. Maybe that’s why they say looks are deceptive.”
    —George Bricker. Jean Yarbrough. Helen Page (Jane Adams)

    “Inconsistency has been overpraised by people who do not expect to suffer from it.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “People who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes floating back to them, poisoned.”
    —James Baldwin (1924–1987)
