Distinguished Public Service

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or service:

    “what can we do
    when even the public conveyances
    sing?
    how can we go anywhere,
    even cross-town
    how get out of anywhere”
    —Charles Olson (1910–1970)

    “For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
    —Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
