Famous quotes containing the words public and/or safety:

    “It was a time of madness, the sort of mad-hysteria that always presages war. There seems to be nothing left but war—when any population in any sort of a nation gets violently angry, civilization falls down and religion forsakes its hold on the consciences of human kind in such times of public madness.”
    —Rebecca Latimer Felton (1835–1930)

    “Perhaps in a book review it is not out of place to note that the safety of the state depends on cultivating the imagination.”
    —Stephen Vizinczey (b. 1933)
