Famous quotes containing the words joint and/or committee:
“Such joint ownership creates a place where mothers can “father” and fathers can “mother.” It does not encourage mothers and fathers to compete with one another for “first- place parent.” Such competition is not especially good for marriage and furthermore drives kids nuts.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
“A committee is an animal with four back legs.”
—John le Carré (b. 1931)
