Famous quotes containing the words fellows and/or program:

    You have many enemies, that know not
    Why they are so, but, like to village curs,
    Bark when their fellows do.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Indigenous to Minnesota, and almost completely ignored by its people, are the stark, unornamented, functional clusters of concrete—Minnesota’s grain elevators. These may be said to express unconsciously all the principles of modernism, being built for use only, with little regard for the tenets of esthetic design.
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
