Famous quotes containing the words market and/or share:
“Writing ought either to be the manufacture of stories for which there is a market demand—a business as safe and commendable as making soap or breakfast foods—or it should be an art, which is always a search for something for which there is no market demand, something new and untried, where the values are intrinsic and have nothing to do with standardized values.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“Reciprocity of sensation is not possible because to share is to be robbed.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
