Vegetable Market

Famous quotes containing the words vegetable and/or market:

    It’s peeling now, age has got it,
    a kind of cancer of the background
    and also in the assorted features.
    It’s like a rotten flag
    or a vegetable from the refrigerator,
    pocked with mold.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Writing ought either to be the manufacture of stories for which there is a market demand—a business as safe and commendable as making soap or breakfast foods—or it should be an art, which is always a search for something for which there is no market demand, something new and untried, where the values are intrinsic and have nothing to do with standardized values.
    Willa Cather (1876–1947)
