Famous quotes containing the words for love, shopping and/or love:
“Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.”
—Mother Teresa (b. 1910)
“The most important fact about our shopping malls, as distinct from the ordinary shopping centers where we go for our groceries, is that we do not need most of what they sell, not even for our pleasure or entertainment, not really even for a sensation of luxury. Little in them is essential to our survival, our work, or our play, and the same is true of the boutiques that multiply on our streets.”
—Henry Fairlie (1924–1990)
““God is Love,” we are taught as children to believe. But when we first begin to get some inkling of how He loves us, we are repelled; it seems so cold, indeed, not love at all as we understand the word.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
