We can serve our customers well only if our buying jobs are right. You cannot sell if you haven't ordered wanted goods into your store.

Success will always be measured by the extent to which we serve the buying public.

I think we did a great job of putting together a program that would have made good e-books available had people been buying e-books in any real numbers.

The trade of banks is the buying and selling of interest and exchange.

There's been a big spur in downtown development with new business, restaurants and a lot of loft buying. The buses run, and there's a subway that runs through downtown.

When buying shares, ask yourself, would you buy the whole company?

But if people are buying the products, naturally they're gonna use them.

Music is the one part of the entertainment business where you can't fool anybody into buying a record.

The price of a commodity will never go to zero. When you invest in commodities futures, you're not buying a piece of paper that says you own an intangible piece of company that can go bankrupt.

I think the big force is going to be consumer buying power.

A book worth reading is worth buying.

Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents.

I'm a writer. The more I act, the more resistance I have to it. If you accept work in a movie, you accept to be entrapped for a certain part of time, but you know you're getting out. I'm also earning enough to keep my horses, buying some time to write.

I do a lot of curiosity buying; I buy it if I like the album cover, I buy it if I like the name of the band, anything that sparks my imagination. I still like to go to record stores, I like to just wander around and I'll buy whatever catches my attention.

I was very much into buying contemporary art, but I've just decided I want to get rid of it all. Not that it's not great art, but all of a sudden my mood has changed, and I want to go back to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century masters.

Whether you've done anything wrong or not people will write whatever they want, so it's just a matter of not reading it, not buying into it, and hopefully the people that do read it realise that it's just fictional stories for entertainment.

What's unfortunate about buying a pitcher for $12 million is that he carries no warranty.

The greatest pleasure when I started making money was not buying cars or yachts but finding myself able to have as many freshly typed drafts as possible.

Finally, I would like to remind record companies that they have a cultural responsibility to give the buying public great music. Milking a trend to death is not contributing to culture and is ultimately not profitable.

A writer writes. Period. No matter if someone is buying your work or not.
