Famous quotes containing the word worth:
“I hate cheap pictures. I hate pictures that make people look like theyre not worth much, just to prove a photographers point. I hate when they take a picture of someone pickin their nose or yawning. Its so cheap. A lot of it is a big ego trip. You use people as props instead of as people.”

“For my own part, I would rather be in company with a dead man than with an absent one; for if the dead man gives me no pleasure, at least he shows me no contempt; whereas the absent one, silently indeed, but very plainly, tells me that he does not think me worth his attention.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
