Famous quotes containing the words trade and/or corridor:
“Conversation is a traffick; and if you enter into it, without some stock of knowledge, to ballance the account perpetually betwixt you,the trade drops at once: and this is the reason ... why travellers have so little [good] conversation with natives,owing to their [the natives] suspicion ... that there is nothing to be extracted from the conversation ... worth the trouble of their bad language.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
“And now in one hours time Ill be out there again. Ill raise my eyes and look down that corridor four feet wide with ten lonely seconds to justify my whole existence.”
—Colin Welland (b. 1934)
