I find infidelity interesting because it’s so revelatory about people. It’s this really silent thing. Everyone acknowledges it as a general practice, but nobody likes to go beyond that, to get down to the nitty-gritty. – Junot Diaz
Cyberspace can’t compensate for real space. We benefit from chatting to people face to face. – Jonathan Sacks
Aggressive, tough and defiant may describe me, but that leaves the impression I’m mean and I’m not. People expect me to have fangs. – Joan Jett

When I was younger – up until I was 19 years old and in college – I was surrounded with people in high school who felt like they knew what they wanted to do with their lives, and that was intimidating to me because I didn’t. – James Marsden
What I’m getting at is, you know, if we really want to get serious about helping all the people living in the street and getting people jobs, we could just hire half the people in the country to spy on the other half. – Jello Biafra
One of the nice things about books as opposed to television and movies to some extent is it’s not a passive entertainment. People really do get involved, and they do create, and they do have their own visions of what different characters look like and what should happen. It’s great – it means their brains are working. – James Patterson
People are moved by my story, but they’re only moved by my story because of what I do on the court. – Jeremy Lin
People who are disenfranchised politically and people who are poor often don’t vote. They often don’t elect politicians, so the politicians who are supporting them are really being very charitable, because they’re not going to give them billions of dollars in campaign funds. – Joyce Carol Oates
All voices are important, and yet it seems that people of color have a lot to say, particularly if you look through the poetry of young people – a lot of questions and a lot of concerns about immigration and security issues, you name it – big questions. – Juan Felipe Herrera
Sensitive people faced with the prospect of a camera portrait put on a face they think is the one they would like to show to the world… Every so often what lies behind the facade is rare and more wonderful than the subject knows or dares to believe. – Irving Penn

I get very nervous whenever I think about it. I’ve never done a serious play, and I have such awe of the woman – she’s really my only idol. It’s going to be a big stretch – certain people come out on stage and your face muscles automatically tense and you get ready to smile. – Judy Holliday
People who cannot find time for recreation are obliged sooner or later to find time for illness. – John Wanamaker
I think it’s unconscionable for a Senator from Massachusetts to come down here and tell the people of Florida what’s right for them. It’s arrogant and irresponsible. – Jeff Miller
I compliment people when I see something I really like and tell them, ‘That was good. Keep doing what you’re doing.’ That’s as much as advice as you will get out of me. – Jeff Hardy
I’m not in favor of the death penalty. But I’m in favor of locking these people away in maximum security units where they can never get out. They can never escape. They can never be paroled. Lock the bad ones away. But you gotta rethink everybody else. – John Grisham
When I’m making an American film, it’s more safe because there are so many people on the set to watch me. Whatever I do, they say, ‘What are you doing!? Tell me first!’ There are so many restrictions. – Jackie Chan
As technology improves, on-screen avatars look more and more like real people. When they start looking too real, though, we pull away. These almost-humans aren’t quite right; they look creepy, like zombies. – James Surowiecki
It is by these, the people, that I have been clothed with the high powers which they have seen fit to confide to their Chief Executive, and been charged with the solemn responsibility under which those powers are to be exercised. – John Tyler
