Famous quotes containing the word people:

“Who can think of the sun costuming clouds
When all people are shaken
Or of night endazzled, proud,
When people awaken
And cry and cry for help?”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“The best people renounce all for one goal, the eternal fame of mortals; but most people stuff themselves like cattle.”

—Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
