Famous quotes containing the words public and/or transport:
“There is no private life which has not been determined by a wider public life.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (15331592)
