Famous quotes containing the word people:

    “It is not too much to say that next after the passion to learn there is no quality so indispensable to the successful prosecution of science as imagination. Find me a people whose early medicine is not mixed up with magic and incantations, and I will find you a people devoid of all scientific ability.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    “It is one of the blessings of this world that few people see visions and dream dreams.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    “Authors communicate with the people by some special extrinsic mark; I am the first to do so by my entire being, as Michel de Montaigne.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
