Higher Committee

Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or committee:

    Dreams have a poetic integrity and truth. This limbo and dust- hole of thought is presided over by a certain reason, too. Their extravagance from nature is yet within a higher nature.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The absence on the panel of anyone who could become pregnant accidentally or discover her salary was five thousand dollars a year less than that of her male counterpart meant there was a hole in the consciousness of the committee that empathy, however welcome, could not entirely fill.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)
