Famous quotes containing the words business and/or entities:
“... hurled religiously
Upon your business of humility
Into the iron forestries of hell....”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
“What are you now? If we could touch one another,
if these our separate entities could come to grips,
clenched like a Chinese puzzle . . . yesterday
I stood in a crowded street that was live with people,
and no one spoke a word, and the morning shone.
Everyone silent, moving. . . . Take my hand. Speak to me.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (19131980)
