Famous quotes containing the words market and/or share:
“The only reason to invest in the market is because you think you know something others don’t.”
—R. Foster Winans (b. 1948)
“When writers meet they are truculent, indifferent, or over-polite. Then comes the inevitable moment. A shows B that he has read something of B’s. Will B show A? If not, then A hates B, if yes, then all is well. The only other way for writers to meet is to share a quick pee over a common lamp-post.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
