Famous quotes containing the words business and/or segments:
“Your business is watching my words. But I
admit nothing.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men—broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
