Famous quotes containing the words public and/or art:
“American families, however, without exception, experience a double message in our society, one that claims a commitment to families and stresses the importance of raising bright, stable, productive citizens, yet remains so bound by an ideal of “rugged individualism” that parents receive little support in their task from the public or private sectors.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“Come, Kate, thou art perfect in lying down.
Come, quick, quick, that I may lay my head in thy lap.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
