Closely Held Company

Famous quotes containing the words closely, held and/or company:

    Out of all those centuries the Greeks can count seven sages at the most, and if anyone looks at them more closely I swear he’ll not find so much as a half-wise man or even a third of a wise man among them.
    Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)

    you held me just as you must
    and of course we’re not married, we are a pair of scissors
    who come together to cut, without towels saying His. Hers.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    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)
