Luxury Goods

Famous quotes containing the words luxury and/or goods:

    “Good-night to the Season!—the dances,
    The fillings of hot little rooms,
    The glancings of rapturous glances,
    The fancyings of fancy costumes;
    The pleasures which Fashion makes duties,
    The praisings of fiddles and flutes,
    The luxury of looking at beauties,
    The tedium of talking to mutes;”
    —Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)

    “Note, besides, that it is no more immoral to directly rob citizens than to slip indirect taxes into the price of goods that they cannot do without.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)
