Famous quotes containing the words art and/or market:

    “The art of motherhood involves much silent, unobtrusive self-denial, an hourly devotion which finds no detail too minute.”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “When General Motors has to go to the bathroom ten times a day, the whole country’s ready to let go. You heard of that market crash in ‘29? I predicted that.... I was nursing a director of General Motors. Kidney ailment, they said; nerves, I said. Then I asked myself, “What’s General Motors got to be nervous about?” “Overproduction,” I says. “Collapse.””
    —John Michael Hayes (b. 1919)
