Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “The genius of the Spanish people is exquisitely subtle, without being at all acute; hence there is so much humour and so little wit in their literature.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “Human contacts have been so highly valued in the past only because reading was not a common accomplishment.... The world, you must remember, is only just becoming literate. As reading becomes more and more habitual and widespread, an ever-increasing number of people will discover that books will give them all the pleasures of social life and none of its intolerable tedium.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “You may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can’t fool all of the people all the time.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
