Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “What is saved in the cinema when it achieves art is a spontaneous continuity with all mankind. It is not an art of the princes or the bourgeoisie. It is popular and vagrant. In the sky of the cinema people learn what they might have been and discover what belongs to them apart from their single lives.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    “I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
