Local Councils

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or councils:

“America is the world’s living myth. There’s no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We’re here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)

“In bridge clubs and in councils of state, the passions are the same.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
