Famous quotes containing the word price:

    Who makes ends meet, who’s taking the knock,
    Government tariffs, wages, price of stock.
    Smoke hangs under the light.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The car as we know it is on the way out. To a large extent, I deplore its passing, for as a basically old- fashioned machine, it enshrines a basically old-fashioned idea: freedom. In terms of pollution, noise and human life, the price of that freedom may be high, but perhaps the car, by the very muddle and confusion it causes, may be holding back the remorseless spread of the regimented, electronic society.
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    Surely the apple is the noblest of fruits. Let the most beautiful or the swiftest have it. That should be the “going” price of apples.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
