Exchange Rate Appreciation

Famous quotes containing the words exchange, rate and/or appreciation:

    “My life is superficial, takes no root in the deep world; I ask, When shall I die, and be relieved of the responsibility of seeing a Universe which I do not use? I wish to exchange this flash-of-lightning faith for continuous daylight, this fever-glow for a benign climate.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    ““Terence, this is stupid stuff:
    You eat your victuals fast enough;
    There can’t be much amiss, ‘tis clear,
    To see the rate you drink your beer.”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    “We like the idea of childhood but are not always crazy about the kids we know. We like it, that is, when we are imagining our own childhoods. So part of our apparent appreciation of youth is simply envy.”
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)
