Famous quotes containing the words public and/or officials:
“The public ... is rather apt to be unreasonably discontented when a woman does marry again, than when she does not.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“The conflict between the men who make and the men who report the news is as old as time. News may be true, but it is not truth, and reporters and officials seldom see it the same way.... In the old days, the reporters or couriers of bad news were often put to the gallows; now they are given the Pulitzer Prize, but the conflict goes on.”
—James Reston (b. 1909)
