Emergency Relief Administration

Famous quotes containing the words emergency and/or relief:

“War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view “realistically”; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent—war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

“[W]ith them we’ll beat little Van, Van, Van is a used up man.”
—State of Indiana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
