Famous quotes containing the words cohen and/or committee:
“History is a needle
for putting men asleep
anointed with the poison
Of all they want to keep.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
“In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other’s affairs, who “come out” together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
