Standing Committee

Famous quotes containing the words standing and/or committee:

“When we stand the truth on its head we generally fail to notice that our head is not standing where it should be standing either.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other’s affairs, who “come out” together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
