Famous quotes containing the words store and/or brands:
“There used to be a thing or a commodity we put great store by. It was called the People. Find out where the People have gone. I dont mean the square-eyed toothpaste-and-hair-dye people or the new-car-or-bust people, or the success-and-coronary people. Maybe they never existed, but if there ever were the People, thats the commodity the Declaration was talking about, and Mr. Lincoln.”
—John Steinbeck (19021968)
“Helios makes all things right:
night brands and chokes
as if destruction broke
over furze and stone and crop.”
—Hilda Doolittle (18861961)
