Famous quotes containing the words key and/or personnel:

    They have thrown away her electric toothbrush, someone else slips
    The key into the lock of her safety-deposit box
    At the Crocker-Anglo Bank; her seat at the cricket matches
    Is warmed by buttocks less delectable than hers.
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    This woman is headstrong, obstinate and dangerously self- opinionated.
