Public Interest Immunity

Famous quotes containing the words public, interest and/or immunity:

    And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
    Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
    Sermons in stones, and good in everything.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    A mob cannot be a permanency: everybody’s interest requires that it should not exist, and only justice satisfies all.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Mistakes, scandals, and failures no longer signal catastrophe. The crucial thing is that they be made credible, and that the public be made aware of the efforts being expended in that direction. The “marketing” immunity of governments is similar to that of the major brands of washing powder.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
