Famous quotes containing the words price and/or level:

    “The car as we know it is on the way out. To a large extent, I deplore its passing, for as a basically old- fashioned machine, it enshrines a basically old-fashioned idea: freedom. In terms of pollution, noise and human life, the price of that freedom may be high, but perhaps the car, by the very muddle and confusion it causes, may be holding back the remorseless spread of the regimented, electronic society.”
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    “We never exchange more than three words with a Friend in our lives on that level to which our thoughts and feelings almost habitually rise.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
