Public Spaces

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or spaces:

    “Chippenhook was the home of Judge Theophilus Harrington, known for his trenchant reply to an irate slave-owner in a runaway slave case. Judge Harrington declared that the owner’s claim to the slave was defective. The owner indignantly demanded to know what was lacking in his legally sound claim. The Judge exploded, ‘A bill of sale, sir, from God Almighty!’”
    —For the State of Vermont, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “through the spaces of the dark
    Midnight shakes the memory
    As a madman shakes a dead geranium.”
