Famous quotes containing the words special and/or broadcasts:
“When we walk the streets at night in safety, it does not strike us that this might be otherwise. This habit of feeling safe has become second nature, and we do not reflect on just how this is due solely to the working of special institutions. Commonplace thinking often has the impression that force holds the state together, but in fact its only bond is the fundamental sense of order which everybody possesses.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (17701831)
“Alexander Woollcott broadcasts the story of the wife who returned a dog to the Seeing Eye with this note attached: I am sending the dog back. My husband used to depend on me. Now he is independent, and I never know where he is.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
