Famous quotes containing the word board:

The elements in crisis are the same, there is a fermentation that is identical.

—Meridel Le Sueur (b. 1900)
“This morning I threw up at a board meeting. I was sure the cat was out of the bag, but no one seemed to think anything about it; apparently it’s quite common for people to throw up at board meetings.”
