Famous quotes containing the words art and/or market:
“Well, Brutus, thou art noble, yet I see
Thy honorable mettle may be wrought
From that it is disposed.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It is a sign of our times, conspicuous to the coarsest observer, that many intelligent and religious persons withdraw themselves from the common labors and competitions of the market and the caucus, and betake themselves to a certain solitary and critical way of living, from which no solid fruit has yet appeared to justify their separation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
