Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or issues:
“America is no place for an artist: to be an artist is to be a moral leper, an economic misfit, a social liability. A corn-fed hog enjoys a better life than a creative writer, painter, or musician. To be a rabbit is better still.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“Cynicism formulates issues clearly, but only to dismiss them.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
