Economically Significant Prices

Famous quotes containing the words economically, significant and/or prices:

    ... men need women more than women need men; and so, aware of this fact, man has sought to keep woman dependent upon him economically as the only method open to him of making himself necessary to her.
    Elizabeth Gould Davis (b. 1910)

    ... the loss of belief in future states is politically, though certainly not spiritually, the most significant distinction between our present period and the centuries before. And this loss is definite. For no matter how religious our world may turn again, or how much authentic faith still exists in it, or how deeply our moral values may be rooted in our religious systems, the fear of hell is no longer among the motives which would prevent or stimulate the actions of a majority.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    The earth only has so much bounty to offer and inventing ever larger and more notional prices for that bounty does not change its real value.
    Ben Elton (b. 1959)
