Famous quotes containing the words buy, jupiter and/or stories:

    “Cynicism is cheap—you can buy it at any Monoprix store—it’s built into all poor- quality goods.”
    —Graham Greene (1904–1991)

    “I stand for the heart. To the dogs with the head! I had rather be a fool with a heart, than Jupiter Olympus with his head. The reason the mass of men fear God, and at bottom dislike Him, is because they rather distrust His heart, and fancy Him all brain like a watch.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Wags try to invent new stories to tell about the legislature, and end by telling the old one about the senator who explained his unaccustomed possession of a large roll of bills by saying that someone pushed it over the transom while he slept. The expression “It came over the transom,” to explain any unusual good fortune, is part of local folklore.”
    —For the State of Montana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
