Bear Market

Famous quotes containing the words bear and/or market:

    “Their legs long, delicate and slender, aquamarine their eyes,
    Magical unicorns bear ladies on their backs.
    The ladies close their musing eyes. No prophecies,
    Remembered out of Babylonian almanacs,
    Have closed the ladies’ eyes, their minds are but a pool
    Where even longing drowns under its own excess....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “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)
