Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “Human contacts have been so highly valued in the past only because reading was not a common accomplishment.... The world, you must remember, is only just becoming literate. As reading becomes more and more habitual and widespread, an ever-increasing number of people will discover that books will give them all the pleasures of social life and none of its intolerable tedium.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “They tell me there’s some people in this world takes a bath every week!”
    —Maxwell Anderson (1888–1959)

    “With most people disbelief in a thing is founded on a blind belief in some other thing.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
