Famous quotes containing the word people:
“You didnt feel there was anything you ever could enjoy again because you really were immersed in death. Other people seemed shallow. You felt a strong allegiance to the dead.”
—Joan Furey (b. 1946)
“I never understood exactly why people get engagedThe only time I ever did the most disastrous things happenedbut I feel that theres a great deal to be said for immediate matrimony always. If I once got started Id probably have to become a mormon to cover my confusion. What I mean is that if he and she are crazy about each other it is sheer tempting God to stay apart, come what may. And if people arent crazy about each other being engaged wont help them.”
—John Dos Passos (18961970)
“Wherever theres a fight so hungry people can eat, Ill be there. Wherever theres a cop beating up a guy, Ill be there. Ill be in the way guys yell when theyre mad. Ill be in the way kids laugh when theyre hungry and they know suppers ready. And when the people eat the stuff they raise, and living in the houses they build, Ill be there, too.”
—Nunnally Johnson (18971977)
