Houston Organizing Project

Famous quotes containing the words houston, organizing and/or project:

    When your dreams tire, they go underground
    and out of kindness that’s where they stay.
    —Libby Houston (b. 1941)

    The lies fall like flaxen threads from the skies
    All over America, and the fact that some of them are true of course
    Doesn’t so much not matter as serve to justify
    The whole mad organizing force under the billows of correct delight.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    If we should swap a good library for a second-rate stump speech and not ask for boot, it would be thoroughly in tune with our hearts. For deep within each of us lies politics. It is our football, baseball, and tennis rolled into one. We enjoy it; we will hitch up and drive for miles in order to hear and applaud the vitriolic phrases of a candidate we have already reckoned we’ll vote against.
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
