Famous quotes containing the words art and/or market:

    Blind mouths! that scarce themselves know how to hold
    A sheephook, or have learn’d ought else the least
    That to the faithful herdman’s art belongs!
    What recks it them? What need they? They are sped.
    And when they list their lean and flashy songs
    Grate on their scrannel pipes of wretched straw,
    The hungry sheep look up, and are not fed,
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    Forbede us thing, and that desiren we;
    Preesse on us faste, and thanne wol we flee.
    With daunger oute we al oure chaffare:
    Greet prees at market maketh dere ware,
    And too greet chepe is holden at litel pris.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
