Famous quotes containing the words marshall, public and/or library:
“We recognize caste in dogs because we rank ourselves by the familiar dog system, a ladderlike social arrangement wherein one individual outranks all others, the next outranks all but the first, and so on down the hierarchy. But the cat system is more like a wheel, with a high-ranking cat at the hub and the others arranged around the rim, all reluctantly acknowledging the superiority of the despot but not necessarily measuring themselves against one another.”
—Elizabeth Marshall Thomas. “Strong and Sensitive Cats,” Atlantic Monthly (July 1994)
“The chief internal enemies of any state are those public officials who betray the trust imposed upon them by the people.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
“Readers transform a library from a mausoleum into many theaters.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
