Famous quotes containing the word people:

    I never can hear a crowd of people singing and gesticulating, all together, at an Italian opera, without fancying myself at Athens, listening to that particular tragedy, by Sophocles, in which he introduces a full chorus of turkeys, who set about bewailing the death of Meleager.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    “The wonder is I didn’t see at once.
    I never noticed it from here before.
    I must be wonted to it that’s the reason.
    The little graveyard where my people are!...”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    There are people who read too much: bibliobibuli. I know some who are constantly drunk on books, as other men are drunk on whiskey or religion. They wander through this most diverting and stimulating of worlds in a haze, seeing nothing and hearing nothing.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
