Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “Few people know how to be old.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “The trouble about soldiers in Mr. Siegfried Sassoon’s poetry ... is that they are the kind of people who in a railroad train have to travel with their backs to the engine. Peace can have but few corners softly padded enough for such sensitives.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    “Things happen to us, all the time. It was like that for a century, and it is again. It’s not like here: People always do things, because you are born with it; you are brought up in this spirit, the active approach to life: “Stand up and go.” We were not. We were always passive in our lives.”
    —Natasha Dudinska (b. c. 1967)
