Famous quotes containing the word people:
“... when I finish reading People, I always feel that I have just spent four days in Los Angeles. Women’s Wear Daily at least makes me feel dirty; People makes me feel that I haven’t read or learned or seen anything at all.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“Politicians—power itself—are abject because they merely embody the profound contempt people have for their own lives.... One should be grateful to the politicians for accepting the abjectness of power, and ridding others of its burden. This inevitably kills them but they get their revenge by passing onto others the corpse of power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Most rock journalism is people who can’t write, interviewing people who can’t talk, for people who can’t read.”
—Frank Zappa (1940–1994)
