Famous quotes containing the words market, square and/or heroes:

    “Today the tyrant rules not by club or fist, but, disguised as a market researcher, he shepherds his flocks in the ways of utility and comfort.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    “Houses haunt me.
    That last house!
    How it sat like a square box!”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “All of childhood’s unanswered questions must finally be passed back to the town and answered there. Heroes and bogey men, values and dislikes, are first encountered and labeled in that early environment. In later years they change faces, places and maybe races, tactics, intensities and goals, but beneath those penetrable masks they wear forever the stocking-capped faces of childhood.”
    —Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
