Welch Refers

Famous quotes containing the words welch and/or refers:

“He promised
that life would go on as usual,
that treaties would be signed, and everyone—
man, woman and child—would be inoculate
against a world in which we had no part,
a world of money, promise and disease.”
—James Welch (b. 1940)

“We have two kinds of “conference.” One is that to which the office boy refers when he tells the applicant for a job that Mr. Blevitch is “in conference.” This means that Mr. Blevitch is in good health and reading the paper, but otherwise unoccupied. The other type of “conference” is bona fide in so far as it implies that three or four men are talking together in one room, and don’t want to be disturbed.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
