Famous quotes containing the words price and/or floor:

    “The price of telling your troubles is having to listen to advice.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “They seldom looked happy. They passed one another without a word in the elevator, like silent shades in hell, hell-bent on their next look from a handsome stranger. Their next rush from a popper. The next song that turned their bones to jelly and left them all on the dance floor with heads back, eyes nearly closed, in the ecstasy of saints receiving the stigmata.”
    —Andrew Holleran (b. 1943)
