The reading
public is intellectually adolescent at best, and it is
obvious that what is called ''significant literature'' will
only be sold to this public by exactly the same methods as
are used to sell it toothpaste, cathartics and automobiles.
-- Raymond Chandler
1888-1959, American Author
I don't
believe that the public knows what it wants; this is the
conclusion that I have drawn from my career.
-- Charlie Chaplin
1889-1977, British Comic
Actor, Filmmaker
The basic idea
which runs right through modern history and modern
liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized.
The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and
meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.
-- Noam Chomsky
1928-, American Linguist,
Political Activist
The measure of
your quality as a public person, as a citizen, is the gap
between what you do and what you say.
-- Ramsey Clark
