Public Issues

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or issues:

“It is because the public are a mass—inert, obtuse, and passive—that they need to be shaken up from time to time so that we can tell from their bear-like grunts where they are—and also where they stand. They are pretty harmless, in spite of their numbers, because they are fighting against intelligence.”
—Alfred Jarry (1873–1907)

“Cynicism formulates issues clearly, but only to dismiss them.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
