Definitions and quotes

People
A people is a plurality of persons considered as a whole, as is the case with an ethnic group or nation. Collectively, for example, the contemporary Frisians and Danes are two related Germanic peoples, while various Middle Eastern ethnic groups are often linguistically categorized as Semitic peoples.
Children
You do not chop off a section of your imaginative substance and make a book specifically for children, for — if you are honest — you have no idea where childhood ends and maturity begins. It is all endless and all one.
P. L. Travers, as quoted in Sticks and Stones : The Troublesome Success of Children's Literature from Slovenly Peter to Harry Potter (2002) by Jack Zipes.
Children
The first duty towards children is to make them happy. If you have not made them so, you have wronged them. No other good they may get can make up for that.
Charles Buxton, Notes of Thought (1883). London: John Murray, p. 147.
Manager
Everybody has his own theatre, in which he is manager, actor, prompter, playwright, sceneshifter, boxkeeper, doorkeeper, all in one, and audience into the bargain.
J. C. and A. W. Hare, Guesses at Truth, in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 4-6.
