Famous quotes containing the words lewis and/or lapham:

    Your kisses close my eyes and yet you stare
    As though God struck a child with nameless fears;
    —Alun Lewis (1915–1944)

    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)
