Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Uses are always much broader than functions, and usually far less contentious. The word function carries overtones of purpose and propriety, of concern with why something was developed rather than with how it has actually been found useful. The function of automobiles is to transport people and objects, but they are used for a variety of other purposes—as homes, offices, bedrooms, henhouses, jetties, breakwaters, even offensive weapons.”
—Frank Smith (b. 1928)
“Sometimes people who are never alone are the loneliest, don’t you think so?”
—A.I. (Albert Isaac)
“Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
