Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “And we may be led, then, upward through more
    Powerful forms of poetry, past columns
    With peeling posters on them, to the country of indifference.
    Meanwhile if the swell diapasons, blooms
    Unhappily and too soon, the little people are nonetheless real.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “The most excellent symbol of the people is the paving stone. One walks on it until it falls on one’s head.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “Is it true that one travels in order to know mankind? It is easier to get to know other people at home, but abroad one gets to know oneself.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
