Public Discourse
Benedikter is an internationally active speaker. One of his favourite public speeches is Steve Jobs' Stanford commencement address of June 14, 2005: http://news.stanford.edu/news/2005/june15/jobs-061505.html "because it has all what a good speech needs: Personality, countenance, containment, structure, honesty, the surprise factor, humour, modesty, revelation, emotion and conciseness".

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or discourse:
“When in public poetry should take off its clothes and wave to the nearest person in sight; it should be seen in the company of thieves and lovers rather than that of journalists and publishers.”
—Brian Patten (b. 1946)
“Two may talk and one may hear, but three cannot take part in a conversation of the most sincere and searching sort. In good company there is never such discourse between two, across the table, as takes place when you leave them open.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
