Famous quotes containing the words public and/or events:
“It is the public scandal that offends; to sin in secret is no sin at all.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
“A curious thing about atrocity stories is that they mirror, instead of the events they purport to describe, the extent of the hatred of the people that tell them.
Still, you can’t listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
