Famous quotes containing the words local and/or government:

    “Surely there must be some way to find a husband or, for that matter, merely an escort, without sacrificing one’s privacy, self-respect, and interior decorating scheme. For example, men could be imported from the developing countries, many parts of which are suffering from a man excess, at least in relation to local food supply.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    “His Majesty’s Government views with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.”
    —A.J. (Arthur James)
