Famous quotes containing the words top, traded and/or commodities:

    “I can’t forget
    How she stood at the top of that long marble stair
    Amazed, and then with a sleepy pirouette
    Went dancing slowly down to the fountain-quieted square;”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    “I traded my childhood for my good left hand.”
    —Yeou-Cheng Ma (b. c. 1950)

    “Most works of art are effectively treated as commodities and most artists, even when they justly claim quite other intentions, are effectively treated as a category of independent craftsmen or skilled workers producing a certain kind of marginal commodity.”
    —Raymond Williams (1921–1988)
