People Die

Famous quotes containing the words people and/or die:

“You said that my manner in that book was not serious enough—that I made people laugh in my most earnest moments. But why should I not? Why should humor and laughter be excommunicated? Suppose the world were only one of God’s jokes, would you work any the less to make it a good joke instead of a bad one?”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“Better to die at the hands of fools than to accept praise from them.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
