Famous quotes containing the words philip and/or howard:

    I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    She does not realize that the only difference between us is that she is on one stage and I on another. I feel that I am acting just as much as she is.
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
