Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “... the random talk of people who have no chance of immortality and thus can speak their minds out has a setting, often, of lights, streets, houses, human beings, beautiful or grotesque, which will weave itself into the moment for ever.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “The people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “Our deeds disguise us. People need endless time to try on their deeds, until each knows the proper deeds for him to do. But every day, every hour, rushes by. There is no time.”
    —Haniel Long (1888–1956)
