Subject/people

Famous quotes containing the words subject and/or people:

“But when the bowels of the earth were sought,
And men her golden entrails did espy,
This mischief then into the world was brought,
This framed the mint which coined our misery.
...
And thus began th’exordium of our woes,
The fatal dumb-show of our misery;
Here sprang the tree on which our mischief grows,
The dreary subject of world’s tragedy.”
—Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

“The most excellent symbol of the people is the paving stone. One walks on it until it falls on one’s head.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
