General Dewitt

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or dewitt:

    When General Motors has to go to the bathroom ten times a day, the whole country’s ready to let go. You heard of that market crash in ‘29? I predicted that.... I was nursing a director of General Motors. Kidney ailment, they said; nerves, I said. Then I asked myself, “What’s General Motors got to be nervous about?” “Overproduction,” I says. “Collapse.”
    John Michael Hayes (b. 1919)

    I taught myself to name my name,
    To bark back, loosen love and crying;
    To ease my woman so she came,
    To ease an old man who was dying.
    —William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
