Famous quotes containing the words nbc, current and/or peacock:

    Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.
    Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

    The English language may hold a more disagreeable combination of words than “The doctor will see you now.” I am willing to concede something to the phrase “Have you anything to say before the current is turned on?”
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    The rich man goes out yachting,
    Where sanctity can’t pursue him;
    The poor goes afloat
    In a fourpenny boat,
    Where the bishop groans to view him.
    —Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)
