Famous quotes containing the words public and/or officials:

    “The public is one thing, Jack, and the people another.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “To name oneself is the first act of both the poet and the revolutionary. When we take away the right to an individual name, we symbolically take away the right to be an individual. Immigration officials did this to refugees; husbands routinely do it to wives.”
    —Erica Jong (b. 1942)
