Famous quotes containing the words interesting and/or programs:
“My experience of ships is that on them one makes an interesting discovery about the world. One finds one can do without it completely.”
—Malcolm Bradbury (b. 1932)
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
