Famous quotes containing the word business:

    “I must create a system or be enslaved by another man’s;
    I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “Laughter on American television has taken the place of the chorus in Greek tragedy.... In other countries, the business of laughing is left to the viewers. Here, their laughter is put on the screen, integrated into the show. It is the screen that is laughing and having a good time. You are simply left alone with your consternation.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “I deny the lawfulness of telling a lie to a sick man for fear of alarming him. You have no business with consequences; you are to tell the truth.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
