Famous quotes containing the words people and/or aged:
“Politicians—power itself—are abject because they merely embody the profound contempt people have for their own lives.... One should be grateful to the politicians for accepting the abjectness of power, and ridding others of its burden. This inevitably kills them but they get their revenge by passing onto others the corpse of power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“An aged man is but a paltry thing,
A tattered coat upon a stick,”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
