Famous quotes containing the words production, summary, table and/or costs:

    “The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “They were not on the table with their elbows.
    They were not sleeping in the shelves of bunks.
    I saw no men there and no bones of men there.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “It is commonly said by farmers, that a good pear or apple costs no more time or pains to rear, than a poor one; so I would have no work of art, no speech, or action, or thought, or friend, but the best.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
