Dufferin - People

Famous quotes containing the word people:

“I waited alone, in the company of orchids, roses and violets who—like people waiting beside you, but to whom you are unknown—maintained a silence which their individuality of living things rendered more imposing and in their chilly manner received the heat from an incandescent coal fire, preciously placed behind a crystal glass, in a white marble tub where it dropped, from time to time, its dangerous rubies.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“We count the courtesies accorded us by unpopular people as offenses.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“All people have a sense of pity.”
—Chinese proverb.
