“If I would be a young man again and had to decide how to make my living, I would not try to become a scientist or teacher. I would rather choose to be a plumber or a peddler in the hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances.”
Albert Einstein
“You know, it's just like being a peddler. You want two breasts? Well, here you are -- two breasts. We must see to it that the man looking at the picture has at hand everything he needs to paint a nude. If you really give him everything he needs -- and the best -- he'll put everything where it belongs, with his own eyes. Each person will make for himself the kind of nude he wants, with the nude that I will have made for him.”
Pablo Picasso
“Every peddler praises his own needles”
Portuguese Proverb
“[Then there's] Hustler ... smut peddler who cares.”
Larry Flynt
“You want a trusted adviser, not a peddler.”
Stan Loar
“If I had my life to live over again, I'd be a plumber.”
“Guido the plumber and Michelangelo obtained their marble from the same quarry, but what each saw in the marble made the difference between a nobleman's sink and a brilliant sculpture.”
