Famous quotes containing the words public and/or company:
“I don’t believe that the public knows what it wants; this is the conclusion that I have drawn from my career.”
—Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977)
“The delicious faces of children, the beauty of school-girls, “the sweet seriousness of sixteen,” the lofty air of well-born, well-bred boys, the passionate histories in the looks and manners of youth and early manhood, and the varied power in all that well-known company that escort us through life,—we know how these forms thrill, paralyze, provoke, inspire, and enlarge us.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
