Famous quotes containing the words money and/or museum:
“A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac; a talent for debate, disputant; skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A Museum of fetishes would give special attention to the history of underwear.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
