Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “This is the 184th Demonstration.
    ...
    What we do is not beautiful
    hurts no one makes no one desperate
    we do not break the panes of safety glass
    stretching between people on the street
    and the deaths they hire.”
    —Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

    “Superior people remain kind and just even in poverty, but lowly people who become rich lord it over others.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “A knowledge that people live close by is,
    I think, enough. And even if only first names are ever exchanged
    The people who own them seem rock-true and marvelously self-sufficient.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
