Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadays saying things against one behind one’s back that are absolutely and entirely true.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “Civilization is maintained by a very few people in a small number of places and we need only some bombs and a few prisons to blot it out altogether.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “A strange effect of marriage, such as the nineteenth century has made it! The boredom of married life inevitably destroys love, when love has preceded marriage. And yet, as a philosopher has observed, it speedily brings about, among people who are rich enough not to have to work, an intense boredom with all quiet forms of enjoyment. And it is only dried up hearts, among women, that it does not predispose to love.”
    —Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
