Famous quotes containing the words top, traded and/or commodities:

    “The Star that bids the Shepherd fold,
    Now the top of Heav’n doth hold,
    And the gilded Car of Day,
    His glowing Axle doth allay
    In the steep Atlantick stream,”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “When we traded the buffalo for a mare,
    we had no milk to drink,
    and we still had droppings to clean up.”
    —Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.

    “Most works of art are effectively treated as commodities and most artists, even when they justly claim quite other intentions, are effectively treated as a category of independent craftsmen or skilled workers producing a certain kind of marginal commodity.”
    —Raymond Williams (1921–1988)
