Famous quotes containing the words public and/or comment:
“It is because the public are a massinert, obtuse, and passivethat they need to be shaken up from time to time so that we can tell from their bear-like grunts where they areand also where they stand. They are pretty harmless, in spite of their numbers, because they are fighting against intelligence.”
—Alfred Jarry (18731907)
“If I use the media, even with tricks, to publicise a black youth being shot in the back in Teaneck, New Jersey ... then I should be praised for it, and its more of a comment on them than me that it would take tricks to make them cover the loss of life.”
—Al, Rev. Sharpton (b. 1954)
