When our time‘s up, it’s up. All the money in the world won’t buy you one more day.
What I like to do when I get to a new place is buy local music early on and listen to it while we’re driving around. I think it helps explain and illuminate the culture of where you are if local music is playing.
What I’m always trying to say to the consumer is: buy less, choose well, make it last.
My father was a progressive farmer, and was always ready to lay aside an old plough if he could replace it with one better constructed for its work. All through life, I have ever been ready to buy a better plough.
I’ve been really frugal with money since way back, so I can’t buy something if it’s too expensive. I’m not that brave.
Instead of going out to dinner, buy good food. Cooking at home shows such affection. In a bad economy, it’s more important to make yourself feel good.
I’ve seen a lot of people buy my books and then fall asleep on the plane soon afterwards.
When stocks are attractive, you buy them. Sure, they can go lower. I’ve bought stocks at $12 that went to $2, but then they later went to $30. You just don’t know when you can find the bottom.
I’ve never worn costume jewelry in my life. It’s really very self-defeating. Why should a man buy a woman real jewelry when she wears false pieces?
When I go to the DVD shop, I mostly buy documentaries because you learn a lot from documentaries.
Portland in particular is a cheap enough place to live that you can still develop your passion – painting, writing, music. People seem less status-conscious. Even wealthy people buy second-hand clothes and look a little bit homeless.
I don’t like shopping for specific things; I shop pieces. I look at it like, ‘I love this, so I’ll buy it and I put it in my closet, and it disappears until I need it.’
Good health is not something we can buy. However, it can be an extremely valuable savings account.
Culture is intangible. It’s spiritual. You can’t buy it.
Oh my goodness gracious, what you can buy off the Internet in terms of overhead photography. A trained ape can know an awful lot of what is going on in this world, just by punching on his mouse, for a relatively modest cost.
A whole new generation is looking at the videos, and going to the video shop and buying the re-release of the complete trilogy, which you can buy at a reasonable price.
People downloading my stories from the bit torrent sites were never going to buy them anyway. It’s no money out of my pocket.

I mean Facebook is no longer a company, it’s a country. 2 billion users. It can influence what we think, what we believe, how we vote, what we buy, even how we feel.
Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it.
I buy records from all across the board. I get kind of a hybrid of influences in my own music.

I wanna buy vinyl and I want to listen to records on it. I want to put on ‘Dark Side of the Moon‘ in the dining room while I’m eating pasta or whatever. You know what I mean.
I appreciate a lot in this life; the things you cannot buy. Life is only once.
The advice would be the same for any kind of fiction. Keep writing, and keep sending things out, not to friends and relatives, but to people who have the power to buy. A lot of additional, useful tips could be added, but this is fundamental.
I think the most successful are the most paranoid. The first thing people do when they buy a mansion is they build the biggest wall you could possibly build around it. What happens is, now you become a target. If I go into the hood, I’m at a disadvantage. They could carry guns. I can’t. They can hit me in the face. I can’t.
People will buy hardware just to buy a single game if the game is really compelling.
That’s the ultimate gratification in any business situation – do customers buy the product? And do they use it and do they come back and buy more of it?
