Exchange Rate Appreciation

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

    Love is often nothing but a favorable exchange between two people who get the most of what they can expect, considering their value on the personality market.
    Erich Fromm (1900–1980)

    We all run on two clocks. One is the outside clock, which ticks away our decades and brings us ceaselessly to the dry season. The other is the inside clock, where you are your own timekeeper and determine your own chronology, your own internal weather and your own rate of living. Sometimes the inner clock runs itself out long before the outer one, and you see a dead man going through the motions of living.
    Max Lerner (b. 1902)

    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)
