  • By Anonym

    The pen is a formidable weapon, but a man can kill himself with it a great deal more easily than he can other people.

  • By Anonym

    The people are angry. It's running out of control. And unfortunately, there are a group of police that have become nothing more than enforcers for the political and financial crime bosses.

  • By Anonym

    The people no longer seek consolation in art. But the refined people, the rich, the idlers seek the new, the extraordinary, the extravagant, the scandalous. I have contented these people with all the many bizarre things that come into my head. And the less they understand, the more they admire it. By amusing myself with all these games, all this nonsense, all these picture puzzles, I became famous... I am only a public entertainer who has understood his time.

    The PEN/Barbara Goldsmith Freedom to Write Award is a way of spotlighting individual cases. If you look at the history of the award, the freedom rate is very high: a very high percentage of people who receive those awards are freed in the next six months to a year. The only weapon there is attention, but interestingly it works.

  • By Anonym

    The people are as severe toward the clergy as toward women; they want to see absolute devotion to duty from both.

  • By Anonym

    The people are drugged with religion; and that's why the elites - who understand that it is just a ritual, and understand the truth of it but won't teach the truth of it to awaken the masses of the people: so, the leaders live in luxury at the expense of the weak, at the expense of the poor.

  • By Anonym

    The people are not coming because of me. They didn't come before me. It's because of a lack of education and understanding, so it makes me more motivated. It's like my mother said about having an artistic child - she learned more from him and he gets more attention and more of the love, not less.

  • By Anonym

    The people are sovereign and the Constitution is supreme. There is no one greater than the people.

  • By Anonym

    The people at the Café Lehmitz had a presence and a sincerity that I myself lacked. It was okay to be desperate, to be tender, to sit all alone or share the company of others. There was a great warmth and tolerance in this destitute setting.

  • By Anonym

    The people at the top of the league think they need to rein me in so I don't become another Michael Jordan, somebody they aren't able to mold and shape and make their puppet.

  • By Anonym

  • By Anonym

    The people definitely shape the two, put stamps and classify mainstream and underground music.

  • By Anonym

    The people have an incentive to spend wisely. So the health care savings accounts are such a good thing. It's such a good idea. And it's time for it.

  • By Anonym

    The people have no ear, either for rhythm or music, and their unnatural passion for pianoforte playing and singing is thus all the more repulsive. There is nothing on earth more terrible than English music, except English painting.

  • By Anonym

    The people have only a very vague direct power. They have the power of voting against the administration, again after its decisions have been taken; but they have no way of getting into the question of policy-making, decision-making, except insofar as the vague forces and pressures of public debate and public opinion have their impact on the President. The President still has to decide. He can't go to the people and ask them to decide for him; he has to make the decision. In that sense he was condemned to be a dictator.

  • By Anonym

    The people have to know what my portraits are like in order to behave in such a way that the result is one of my portraits.

  • By Anonym

    The people I admire most are those who struggle for everyone.

  • By Anonym

    The people I am afraid of are the ones who look for tendentiousness between the lines and are determined to see me as either liberal or conservative. I am neither liberal, nor conservative, nor gradualist, nor monk, nor indifferentist. I would like to be a free artist and nothing else, and I regret God has not given me the strength to be one.

  • By Anonym

    The people I chose to work with me on this album are there because I have a personal relationship with them.

  • By Anonym

    The people is always expressive of the truth. The life of a people cannot be a lie.

  • By Anonym

    "The people" is that massive portion of a society that lives by its pathetic subjection to sheer immediacy or self-obviousness, and that therefore uncritically seizes upon the most simplistic and abstract ways of filling its vacuous self-consciousness. Not philosophy but dogma and rhetoric, not rationality but indoctrination and conditioning, provide the cultural junkfood by which the Many perfunctorily slake their thirst and hunger.

  • By Anonym

    The people I've met -- obviously, the people I'm going to meet after concerts are people that bother to hang around and there's going to be more of a chance of things translating to them because they're going to take more time over it, if they're going to wait around to meet us. But so far, it does seem as if things written down are translating into people actually buying it, that kind of way.

  • By Anonym

    The people I worked with were bigger than life. Once you put them on the screen, they were huge.

  • By Anonym

    The pedigree's pretty high. For people who are really scary movie fans, this is nirvana. If you're in the mood to get scared, just watch this every week. It'll creep you out.

    • people quotes
  • By Anonym

    The people are immensely likable— cheerful, extrovert, quick-witted, and unfailingly obliging. Their cities are safe and clean and nearly always built on water. They have a society that is prosperous, well ordered, and instinctively egalitarian. The food is excellent. The beer is cold. The sun nearly always shines. There is coffee on every corner. Life doesn't get much better than this.

  • By Anonym

    The people are the government, administering it by their agents; they are the government, the sovereign power.

  • By Anonym

    The people are the ultimate guardians of their own liberties. In every government on earth is some trace of human weakness, some germ of corruption and degeneracy . . . Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone.

  • By Anonym

    The people ask much, often more than any government can give. We must resist the temptation to promise solutions to all problems.

  • By Anonym

    The people at the top don't work just harder or even much harder than everyone else. They work much, much harder.

  • By Anonym

    The people at the very top could fall by and grace you with their presence and give you a little largesse, and you'd be "Oh, I'm so beloved." In a way, it was kind of like flattery. The middle managers didn't quite have that cachet, but at the same time, they had to seem like they were of that caliber. So there's a little bit of loneliness at the heart of those with a little bit of power.

  • By Anonym

    • people quotes
  • By Anonym

  • By Anonym

    The people are going to speak. I'm not going to have people who say, 'You can't do this, you can't do that'. I'm going to fight for the taxpayers like I always have.

  • By Anonym

    The people are not always well-informed, but is better that they have misconceptions that make them restless than that they be lethargic-for lethargy in the people means death for republics.

  • By Anonym

    The people are not stupid, but they are totally misinformed.

  • By Anonym

  • By Anonym

    The people are the masters of the revolution in each country. It is like putting a cart before the horse that foreigners carry out the revolution for them. The revolution can neither be exported nor imported.
