Famous quotes containing the word people:
“If people would forget about utopia! When rationalism destroyed heaven and decided to set it up here on earth, that most terrible of all goals entered human ambition. It was clear there’d be no end to what people would be made to suffer for it.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“Just as language has no longer anything in common with the thing it names, so the movements of most of the people who live in cities have lost their connexion with the earth; they hang, as it were, in the air, hover in all directions, and find no place where they can settle.”
—Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926)
“The best way to compel weak-minded people to adopt our opinion, is to frighten them from all others, by magnifying their danger.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
