Public Banks

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or banks:

“what can we do
when even the public conveyances
sing?
how can we go anywhere,
even cross-town
how get out of anywhere”
—Charles Olson (1910–1970)

“The world is a puzzling place today. All these banks sending us credit cards, with our names on them. Well, we didn’t order any credit cards! We don’t spend what we don’t have. So we just cut them in half and throw them out, just as soon as we open them in the mail. Imagine a bank sending credit cards to two ladies over a hundred years old! What are those folks thinking?”
—Sarah Louise Delany (b. 1889)
