Violet/people

Famous quotes containing the words violet and/or people:

Turn upward from the desk when the human engine waits
Like a taxi throbbing waiting,”

“One has to completely humiliate oneself to be what the Beatles were, and that’s what I resent. I didn’t know, I didn’t foresee. It happened bit by bit, gradually, until this complete craziness is surrounding you, and you’re doing exactly what you don’t want to do with people you can’t stand—the people you hated when you were ten.”
—John Lennon (1940–1980)
