Famous quotes containing the word business:
“My business is words. Words are like labels,
or coins, or better, like swarming bees.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Writing ought either to be the manufacture of stories for which there is a market demand—a business as safe and commendable as making soap or breakfast foods—or it should be an art, which is always a search for something for which there is no market demand, something new and untried, where the values are intrinsic and have nothing to do with standardized values.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
