Responsible

Famous quotes containing the word responsible:

“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)

“We are responsible for actions performed in response to circumstances for which we are not responsible.”
—Allan Massie (b. 1938)

“Great bodies of people are never responsible for what they do.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
