Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “I am continually fascinated at the difficulty intelligent people have in distinguishing what is controversial from what is merely offensive.”
    —Nora Ephron (b. 1941)

    “A knowledge that people live close by is,
    I think, enough. And even if only first names are ever exchanged
    The people who own them seem rock-true and marvelously self-sufficient.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “I started off rapping for people just like myself, people who were in awe of wealth and flash. It was a conversation between me and them. But now most of those who buy my records are listening in on others’ conversation. They are the aural equivalent of voyeurs, thrilled at this crazy world that has nothing to do with their experience.”
    —Ice-T [Tracy Marrow], U.S. rap musician. Observer (London, Oct. 27, 1991)
