Famous quotes containing the words business and/or model:
“In business everyone is out to grab, to fight, to win. Either you are the under or the over dog. It is up to you to be on top.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
“I had a wonderful job. I worked for a big model agency in Manhattan.... When I got on the subway to go to work, it was like traveling into another world. Oh, the shops were beautiful, we had Bergdorf’s, Bendel’s, Bonwit’s, DePinna. The women wore hats and gloves. Another world. At home, it was cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, going to PTA, Girl Scouts. But when I got into the office, everything was different, I was different.”
—Estelle Shuster (b. c. 1923)
