Famous quotes containing the words yen and/or shops:
“Diamond, the only trouble with you is youd like to be me. Youd like to have my organization, my influence, my fix. You cant; thats impossible. You think its money; its not. Its personality. You havent got it, Lieutenant. Youre a cop. Slow. Steady. Intelligent. With a bad temper, and a gun under your arm. And with a big yen for a girl he cant have. First is first, and second is nobody.”
—Philip Yordan (b. 1913)
“Americans are fascinated by their own love of shopping. This does not make them unique. Its just that they have more to buy than most other people on the planet. And its also an affirmation of faith in their country, its prosperity and limitless bounty. They have shops the way that lesser countries have statues.”
—Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)
