Public Lectures

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or lectures:

“We might make a public moan in the newspapers about the decay of conscience, but in private conversation, no matter what crimes a man may have committed or how cynically he may have debased his talent or his friends, variations on the answer “Yes, but I did it for the money” satisfy all but the most tiresome objections.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

“Behold, I do not give lectures or a little charity,
When I give I give myself.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
