Working Committee

Famous quotes containing the words working and/or committee:

    Peoples need a victory so bad. We’ve been working here since ‘62 and we haven’t got nothing, except a helluva lot of heartaches.
    Fannie Lou Hamer (1917–1977)

    In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other’s affairs, who “come out” together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
