Jfk Records Act

Famous quotes containing the words records and/or act:

“Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)

“of artists dying in childbirth, wise-women charred at the stake,
centuries of books unwritten piled behind these shelves;
and we still have to stare into the absence
of men who would not, women who could not, speak
to our life—this still unexcavated hole
called civilization, this act of translation, this half-world.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
