“Selling something only to steal it back to sell again is not only dishonest, but highly profitable.”

“Perhaps the most extraordinary characteristic of current America is the attempt to reduce life to buying and selling. Life is not love unless love is sex and bought and sold. Life is not knowledge save knowledge of technique, of science for destruction. Life is not beauty except beauty for sale. Life is not art unless its price is high and it is sold for profit. All life is production for profit, and for what is profit but for buying and selling again?”

“Life is pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.”

“When you're a man, they'll sell you back your dreams that they're about to steal from you now.”

“American business at this point is really about developing an idea, making it profitable, selling it while it's profitable and then getting out or diversifying. It's just about sucking everything up. My idea was: Enjoy baking, sell your bread, people like it, sell more. Keep the bakery going because you're making good food and people are happy.”

“Being relevant to your customers only when you’re trying to sell something means choosing to be irrelevant to them for the rest of the time.”
