Famous quotes containing the words thin and/or people:

Floating up from the forgotten
Cigarette between my fingers,
Why does it trouble me?”

“All our civilization had meant nothing. The same culture that had nurtured the kindly enlightened people among whom I had been brought up, carried around with it war. Why should I not have known this? I did know it, but I did not believe it. I believed it as we believe we are going to die. Something that is to happen in some remote time.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
