"In corporate life, I think there are three important areas which contracts can't deal with, the area of conflict, the area of change and area of reaching potential.

In many cases they develop into real love relationships." -- Max DePree, chairman and CEO of Herman Miller Inc., "Herman Miller's Secrets of Corporate Creativity", The Wall Street Journal, May 3, 1988 |
