“What you buy is what you own, and sooner or later what you own will come back to you.”

“The soil of a man's heart is stonier, Louis. A man grows what he can, and he tends it. 'Cause what you buy, is what you own. And what you own… always comes home to you.”

“They are trying as directly as possible to sell you experiences, i. e. what you are able to do with the car, not the car as a product itself. An extreme example of this is this existing economic marketing concept, which basically evaluates the value of you as a potential consumer of your own life. Like how much are you worth, in the sense of all you will spend to buy back your own life as a certain quality life. You will spend so much in doctors, so much in beauty, so much in transcendental meditation, so much for music, and so on. What you are buying is a certain image and practice of your life. So what is your market potential, as a buyer of your own life in this sense?”

Slavoj Žižek (1949) Slovene philosopher

“Life is an echo. What you send out, comes back. What you sow, you reap. What you give, you get. What you see in others, exists in you.”

Ralph Smart

“Buy not what you want, but what you have need of; what you do not want is dear at a farthing.”

Cato the Elder (-234–-149 BC) politician, writer and economist (0234-0149)

“They made you think that, what you need is what they sellin',

“It's not what you are that holds you back, it's what you think you are
not.”
