People Feel

Famous quotes containing the words people and/or feel:

    Language, the machine of the poet, is best fitted for his purpose in its rudest state. Nations, like individuals, first perceive, and then abstract. They advance from particular images to general terms. Hence the vocabulary of an enlightened society is philosophical, that of a half-civilised people is poetical.
    Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    I feel I must learn to speak the Baa
    of the simple-minded, while my mind
    dives into the multi-colored
    crowded voices,
    cries for help, My breasts are off me.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
