Famous quotes containing the words public and/or services:
“what can we do
when even the public conveyances
sing?
how can we go anywhere,
even cross-town
how get out of anywhere”
—Charles Olson (1910–1970)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
