Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Once we began to see our images
Reflected in the mud and even dust,
‘Twas disillusion upon disillusion.
We were lost piecemeal to the animals,
Like people thrown out to delay the wolves.
Nothing but fallibility was left us....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Most people find just being themselves not enough of a show.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
