Illicit Trade

Famous quotes containing the words illicit and/or trade:

“An illicit love affair seems sweetly old-fashioned in the age of one night stands and orgies.”

“With respect to a true culture and manhood, we are essentially provincial still, not metropolitan,—mere Jonathans. We are provincial, because we do not find at home our standards; because we do not worship truth, but the reflection of truth; because we are warped and narrowed by an exclusive devotion to trade and commerce and manufacturers and agriculture and the like, which are but means, and not the end.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
