Famous quotes containing the words public and/or project:
“The Indian attitude toward the land was expressed by a Crow named Curly: The soil you see is not ordinary soilit is the dust of the blood, the flesh, and the bones of our ancestors. You will have to dig down to find Natures earth, for the upper portion is Crow, my blood and my dead. I do not want to give it up.”
—For the State of Montana, U.S. public relief program. Montana: A State Guide Book (The WPA Guide to Montana)
“Although I mean it, and project the meaning
As hard as I can into its brushed-metal surface,
It cannot, in this deteriorating climate, pick up
Where I leave off.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
