Famous quotes containing the words time and/or hobby:
“The mystical nature of American consumption accounts for its joylessness. We spend a great deal of time in stores, but if we don’t seem to take much pleasure in our buying, it’s because we’re engaged in the acts of sacrifice and self-definition. Abashed in the presence of expensive merchandise, we recognize ourselves ... as supplicants admitted to a shrine.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“My hobby more and more is likely to be common school education, or universal education.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
