“How to Tell If Shoes Fit: Walking around the shoe store is not going to tell you any more than test-driving a car around a showroom. And those little mirrors? That's so you can tell how your cat is going to like your shoes. The real way to tell how shoes fit is how badly you want them.” IfsWayWantLittlesRealCarLike YouFitWalkingCatTestsMirrorsShoesStoresDrivingIf The Shoe FitsShowroom Author:Mimi Pond
“Through its prohibition on birth control, the Church has suggested that the only right way to have children is through biological reproduction: a kind of forced labor culminating in the production of another soul for God. What kind of a God stands like Lee Iacocca at the end of an assembly line, driving his workers with a greedy 'More! More!' while the automobiles pile up in showrooms and on freeways and in used-car lots and finally junkyards, his only satisfaction the gross production figures at the end of every quarter?” WayKindChildrenSoulEndsUsedGrowthChurchLinesCarFiguresBirthLaborWorkersSatisfactionProductionsDrivingQuartersRight WayGreedyGrossAutomobileAssemblyProhibitionReproductionBirth ControlFreewaysPopulation GrowthAssembly LineUsed CarJunkyardShowroom Author:Nancy Mairs
“I would love an old classic car, or something like that. I'd get something much more subtle than any of those cars. The Lamborghinis were unbelievable to drive and to sit in and to film in. I loved the sensation because I love driving, so I appreciate them for what they are. But, I couldn't go into a showroom and buy something of that expense.” FilmCarAppreciateDrivingClassicSubtleExpensesSensationsUnbelievableShowroom Author:Dominic Cooper
“Bernard [Leach] had acquired many [Shoji] Hamada works. Some of them, it was interesting - first of all, Hamada worked in St. Ives for about four years before returning to Japan to start his own pottery. He had exhibitions in London, and if these exhibitions didn't sell out, the galleries were instructed to send the remaining work down to the Leach Pottery, where they would go into the showroom for sale. If Bernard saw one that hadn't sold that he really admired, then he would take it (he would buy it), and it would go into the house.” IfsYearsFirstsHouseInterestingSawsFourSellsLondonJapanFour YearsGalleryExhibitionsPotteryShowroom Author:Warren MacKenzie
“When I played the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve, I got to bring Wiley, my 85-pound black lab.

“Originally, we were going to set up a cappuccino bar in the showroom, but we've been so busy, ...
