State Approved Private

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or private:

“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)

“stop the darkness and its amputations
and find the real McCoy
in the private holiness
of my hands.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
