—Shulamith Firestone (b. 1945)
“Where there is no vision, the people perish.”
—Bible: Hebrew Proverbs 29:18.
President John F. Kennedy quoted this passage on the eve of his assassination in Dallas, Texas. Quoted in Theodore C. Sorenson, Kennedy, epilogue (1965)

—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“The job of the press is to encourage debate, not to supply the public with information.”
