Famous quotes containing the word people:

    Original thought is like original sin: both happened before you were born to people you could not have possibly met.
    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)

    It is not a piece of fine feminine Spitalfields silk—but is of the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships’ cables & hausers. A Polar wind blows through it, & birds of prey hover over it. Warn all gentle fastidious people from so much as peeping into the book—on risk of a lumbago & sciatics.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Nobody is saying that these people do not ultimately cease to be. And
    Sometimes their passings are even more painful than ours.
    It is just that so often they live till their hair is white.
    They make excellent corpses, among the expensive flowers. . . .
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
