Famous quotes containing the words committee and/or chairs:
“A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.”
—C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)
“My verse
has brought me
no roubles to spare:
no craftsmen have made
mahogany chairs for my house.”
