Famous quotes containing the words selected, american and/or collection:

    “The best history is but like the art of Rembrandt; it casts a vivid light on certain selected causes, on those which were best and greatest; it leaves all the rest in shadow and unseen.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    “Mighty few young black women are doin’ domestic work. And I’m glad. That’s why I want my kids to go to school. This one lady told me, “All you people are gettin’ like that.” I said, “I’m glad.” There’s no more gettin’ on their knees.”
    —Maggie Holmes, African American domestic worker. As quoted in Working, book 3, by Studs Terkel (1973)

    “The society would permit no books of fiction in its collection because the town fathers believed that fiction ‘worketh abomination and maketh a lie.’”
    —For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
