Standing Committee

Famous quotes containing the words standing and/or committee:

“quiet, negligent riding,
my toes standing the stirrups,
my thighs hugging his ribs.”
—May Swenson (1919–1995)

“A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.”
—C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)
