Famous quotes containing the words major and/or industries:
“Society needs to condemn a little more and understand a little less.”
—John Major (b. 1943)
“All industries are brought under the control of such people [film producers] by Capitalism. If the capitalists let themselves be seduced from their pursuit of profits to the enchantments of art, they would be bankrupt before they knew where they were. You cannot combine the pursuit of money with the pursuit of art.”
