Famous quotes containing the words house and/or committee:
“Turn back. Turn, young lady dear
A murderer’s house you enter here
I was wooed and won little bird”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“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)
