Famous quotes containing the words current and/or marketplace:

    Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
    Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
    And the profit and loss.
    A current under sea
    Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
    He passed the stages of his age and youth
    Entering the whirlpool.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    It is the marketplace that calls most clearly for men to be softer, more narcissistic and receptive, and the new man is the result.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
