Publicly Traded Private

Famous quotes containing the words publicly, traded and/or private:

    One who is publicly honest about himself ends up by priding himself somewhat on this honesty: for he knows only too well why he is honest—for the same reasons another person prefers illusion and dissimulation.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    I traded my childhood for my good left hand.
    Yeou-Cheng Ma (b. c. 1950)

    ... it is a commonplace that men like war. For peace, in our society, with the feeling we have then that it is feeble-minded to strive except for one’s own private profit, is a lonely thing and a hazardous business. Over and over men have proved that they prefer the hazards of war with all its suffering. It has its compensations.
    Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
