Bought

Famous quotes containing the word bought:

    A two-year-old can be taught to curb his aggressions completely if the parents employ strong enough methods, but the achievement of such control at an early age may be bought at a price which few parents today would be willing to pay. The slow education for control demands much more parental time and patience at the beginning, but the child who learns control in this way will be the child who acquires healthy self-discipline later.
    Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)

    It is not quite safe to send out a venture in this kind, unless yourself go supercargo. Where a man goes, there he is; but the slightest virtue is immovable,—it is real estate, not personal; who would keep it, must consent to be bought and sold with it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Walter Neff: I’m crazy about you, baby.
    Phyllis Dietrichson: I’m crazy about you, Walter.
    Walter Neff: That perfume on your hair, what’s the name of it?
    Phyllis Dietrichson: I don’t know. I bought it in Ensenada.
    Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
