Famous quotes containing the words price and/or fixing:
“By all those, who are not much acquainted with him, he was considered infinitely below his level; he put no price upon himself, and consequently went at an undervalue; for the world is complaisant or dupe enough, to give every man the price he sets upon himself, provided it be not insolently and overbearingly demanded. It turns upon the manner of asking.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“You cutting the lawn, fixing the machines,
all this leprous day and then more vodka,
more soda and the pond forgiving our bodies,
the pond sucking out the throb.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
