Famous quotes containing the word people:
“A major problem for Black women, and all people of color, when we are challenged to oppose anti-Semitism, is our profound skepticism that white people can actually be oppressed.”
—Barbara Smith (b. 1946)
“When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part.”
—George Bernard Shaw (18561950)
“Things happen to us, all the time. It was like that for a century, and it is again. Its 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)
