Subject/people

Famous quotes containing the words subject and/or people:

    When a thing ceases to be a subject of controversy, it ceases to be a subject of interest.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That’s one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population—the intelligent ones or the fools? I think we can agree it’s the fools, no matter where you go in this world, it’s the fools that form the overwhelming majority.
    Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
