Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “...I have never known a “movement” in the theater that did not work direct and serious harm. Indeed, I have sometimes felt that the very people associated with various “uplifting” activities in the theater are people who are astoundingly lacking in idealism.”
    —Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)

    “The first place he went into was the Royal Exchange .... where men of all ages and all nations were assembled, with no other view than to barter for interest. The countenances of most of the people showed they were filled with anxiety; some indeed appeared pleased, but yet it was with a mixture of fear.... [David] resolved to stay no longer in a place where riches were esteemed goodness, and deceit, low cunning, and giving up all things to the love of gain were thought wisdom.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    “What precisely is it
    About the time of day it is, the weather, that causes people to note it painstakingly in their diaries
    For them to read who shall come after?”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
