Famous quotes containing the word people:
“I can never get people to understand that poetry is the expression of excited passion, and that there is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state?”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)
“[When asked by the judge, after her first arrest, at age 15: Do you expect to convert people to socialism by talking on Broadway?:] Indeed I do.”
—Elizabeth Gurley Flynn (18901964)
“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, its your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”
—Georgia OKeeffe (18871986)
