Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or success:
“Electronic aids, particularly domestic computers, will help the inner migration, the opting out of reality. Reality is no longer going to be the stuff out there, but the stuff inside your head. It’s going to be commercial and nasty at the same time.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“Success is the space one occupies in the newspaper. Success is one day’s insolence.”
