Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “And we may be led, then, upward through more
    Powerful forms of poetry, past columns
    With peeling posters on them, to the country of indifference.
    Meanwhile if the swell diapasons, blooms
    Unhappily and too soon, the little people are nonetheless real.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

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

    “There’s in people simply an urge to destroy, an urge to kill, to murder and rage, and until all mankind, without exception, undergoes a great change, wars will be waged, everything that has been built up, cultivated, and grown will be destroyed and disfigured, after which mankind will have to begin all over again.”
    —Anne Frank (1929–1945)
