“Why pay a dollar for a bookmark? Why not use the dollar for a bookmark?”

“We note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost.”

Paul Simon (1941) American musician, songwriter and producer

“Why did you pay twenty dollars to sit in the front row and tell me I suck? And you're a girl. That's stupid.”

Courtney Love (1964) American punk singer-songwriter, musician, actress, and artist

“If an employer had to pay a man one dollar for the same work a woman could do for 59 cents, why would anyone hire a man?”

Warren Farrell (1943) author, spokesperson, expert witness, political candidate

“Glenn Beck: And it goes nowhere if you go onto 'compassion, compassion, compassion, compassion' or well, 'They should've put it out, what is the fire department for?' No, what is the 75 dollars for. To keep the firemen available, to keep the firetrucks running, to pay for the fire department to have people employed to put the fire out. If you don't pay your 75 dollars then that hurts the fire department. They can't use those resources, and you would be sponging off your neighbor's 75 dollars if they put out your neighbor's house and you didn't pay for it — I mean, if your neighbor didn't pay for it, you did, and they put out their house — your neighbor is sponging off of your 75 dollars.
Pat Gray: And as soon as they put out the fire of somebody who didn't pay the 75 bucks,
(in unison) no one
Pat Gray: will pay the 75 dollars.
Glenn Beck: Why would you pay the 75 dollars, you don't have to, they're gonna put it out anyway? Nobody pays attention.”

Glenn Beck (1964) U.S. talk radio and television host

“To use an electronics analogy, closing a book on a bookmark is like pressing the Stop button, whereas when you leave the book facedown, you've only pressed Pause.”

Anne Fadiman (1953) American essayist, journalist and magazine editor

“But Neve, you can’t start a book and leave it halfway through,’ he’d said implacably. ‘It’s almost as bad as turning down the corner of the page, instead of using a bookmark.”

Sarra Manning (1950) British writer

“And you read your emily dickinson,
And I my robert frost.
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what weve lost.”

Paul Simon (1941) American musician, songwriter and producer

“The political race is for the rich. Why would (politicians) want to spend X millions of dollars on a campaign? It has to be for political gain. That disconnect is why I'm running for office.”

Scott Ashjian (1963) American businessman

“Here’s why I would recommend against [selling the U. S. stock markets short]…. Retail brokers normally require investors to hold any short-sale proceeds in U. S. dollars, usually earning no interest. The dollar, seen through my famously jaundiced eye, could lose more purchasing power than the security you sold short lost value…. I’ve got a much better idea, which is to borrow dollars and spend them to acquire foreign income-producing assets, using the income to pay the interest.”

Peter D. Schiff (1963) American entrepreneur, economist and author
