Famous quotes containing the word people:

    We live under continual threat of two equally fearful, but seemingly opposed, destinies: unremitting banality and inconceivable terror. It is fantasy, served out in large rations by the popular arts, which allows most people to cope with these twin specters.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    The little dog lay curled and did not rise
    But slept the deeper as the ashes rose
    And found the people incomplete,
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    On his favourite subject of subordination, Johnson said, “So far is it from being true that men are naturally equal, that no two people can be half an hour together, but one shall acquire an evident superiority over the other.”
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
