Famous quotes containing the words major and/or deals:

    “Inanimate objects are classified scientifically into three major categories—those that don’t work, those that break down and those that get lost.”
    —Russell Baker (b. 1925)

    “Americans are very friendly and very suspicious, that is
    what Americans are and that is what always upsets the
    foreigner, who deals with them, they are so friendly
    how can they be so suspicious and they are so
    suspicious how can they be so friendly but they just
    are and that certainly has something to do with their
    having tucked their capital, their capitals away.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
