Famous quotes containing the words hearing and/or people:
“One does not jump, and spring, and shout hurrah! at hearing one has got a fortune, one begins to consider responsibilities, and to ponder business; on a base of steady satisfaction rise certain grave cares, and we contain ourselves, and brood over our bliss with a solemn brow.”
—Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)
“What would it mean to live
in a city whose people were changing
each other’s despair into hope?—
You yourself must change it.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
