Private Audiences

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or audiences:

    I throw myself on your discretion and shew my confidence in it when I thus venture to write in a private character what seems to contradict my public duty.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    Hollywood keeps before its child audiences a string of glorified young heroes, everyone of whom is an unhesitating and violent Anarchist. His one answer to everything that annoys him or disparages his country or his parents or his young lady or his personal code of manly conduct is to give the offender a “sock” in the jaw.... My observation leads me to believe that it is not the virtuous people who are good at socking jaws.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
