Played Price

Famous quotes containing the words played and/or price:

    “All those girls
    who wore the red shoes,
    each boarded a train that would not stop.
    Stations flew by like suitors and would not stop.
    They all danced like trout on the hook.
    They were played with.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “A bargain is in its very essence a hostile transaction ... do not all men try to abate the price of all they buy? I contend that a bargain even between brethren is a declaration of war.”
