Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “If people must be talking about me, I would have it to be truthfully and justly. I would willingly return from the next world to contradict any person who described me other than I was, although he did it to honour me.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “I don’t like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isn’t of much value. Life hasn’t revealed its beauty to them.”
    —Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)

    “The genius of the Spanish people is exquisitely subtle, without being at all acute; hence there is so much humour and so little wit in their literature.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
