Luxury Goods

Famous quotes containing the words luxury and/or goods:

“People buy their necessities in shops and have to pay dearly for them because they have to assist in paying for what is also on sale there but only rarely finds purchasers: the luxury and amusement goods.

—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
