Public Image of Barack Obama

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or image:

“There are obvious places in which government can narrow the chasm between haves and have-nots. One is the public schools, which have been seen as the great leveler, the authentic melting pot. That, today, is nonsense. In his scathing study of the nation’s public school system entitled “Savage Inequalities,” Jonathan Kozol made manifest the truth: that we have a system that discriminates against the poor in everything from class size to curriculum.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

““Power may be at the end of a gun,” but sometimes it’s also at the end of the shadow or the image of a gun.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
