Famous quotes containing the words amateur, public and/or links:
“I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on.

I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
