Famous quotes containing the words direct and/or project:
“No amount of charters, direct primaries, or short ballots will make a democracy out of an illiterate people.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“Indigenous to Minnesota, and almost completely ignored by its people, are the stark, unornamented, functional clusters of concrete—Minnesota’s grain elevators. These may be said to express unconsciously all the principles of modernism, being built for use only, with little regard for the tenets of esthetic design.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
