Shelf Quotations
Intellectual property has the shelf life of a banana.
Bill Gates
People find ideas a bore because they do not distinguish between live ones and stuffed ones on a shelf.
Ezra Pound
There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.
Frank Zappa
Books are like imprisoned souls till someone takes them down from a shelf and frees them.
Samuel Butler
It's really clear to me that you can't hang onto something longer than its time. Ideas lose certain freshness, ideas have a shelf life, and sometimes they have to be replaced by other ideas.
Alan Alda
You take one bomber and deploy him in Baghdad, and another is manufactured in Riyadh the next day. It's exactly like when you take the toy off the shelf at Wal-Mart and another is made in Shen Zhen the next day.
Thomas Friedman
The best of merchandise will go back to the shelf unless handled by a conscientious, tactful salesman.
James Cash Penney
And the whole Oscar thing, that is just surreal: you spend months and months doing promotion, and then come back to reality with this golden thing in your hands. You put it in the office and then you just have to look at it sitting on the shelf. And, after about two weeks, you go: 'What is that doing there?'
Javier Bardem
I don't mind if my skull ends up on a shelf as long as it's got my name on it.
Debbie Harry
Only a certain number of people go to a store over the period of a year. When a person sees my record on the shelf, it eliminates someone else's record from being sold. It's about continuing to try to find new ways to sell records.
Roy Ayers
