The mark of a true crush... is that you fall in love first and grope for reasons afterward.

The mark of one who loves God and saints is sacrifice.
‐‐ Sadhu Vaswani
The mark of our time is its revulsion against imposed patterns.
‐‐ Marshall McLuhan
The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly.
‐‐ Richard Bach
The mark, to me, of a constructive argument is one that looks at a specific problem and says, 'What shall we do about this?' And a nonconstructive one is one that tries to label people.
‐‐ Gloria Steinem
The market always, in theory at least, looks ahead. And it's always trying to take in every bit of information that it can as quickly as it can. You don't really care so much if the company made a dollar last year; you want to know what it's going to make this year.
‐‐ Alex Berenson
The market, as we're all painfully aware in the aftermath of the banking crisis, can be an idiot. It has no perception of right or wrong, or even sensible or insane. It sees profit.
‐‐ Nick Harkaway
The market came with the dawn of civilization and it is not an invention of capitalism. If it leads to improving the well-being of the people there is no contradiction with socialism.
‐‐ Mikhail Gorbachev
The market controls everything, but the market has no heart.
‐‐ Anita Roddick
The market didn't define the music; the music defined the market.
‐‐ Charlie Hunter
The market doesn't make communities. Markets make networks of self-interested individuals, and they work as long as there's more than enough to go around.
‐‐ Robert Hass
The market doesn't work very well when it comes to public goods.
‐‐ Eric Maskin
The market economy is deeply congruent with the values set out in the Hebrew Bible. Material prosperity is a divine blessing. Poverty crushes the spirit as well as the body, and its alleviation is a sacred task. Work is a noble calling.
‐‐ Jonathan Sacks
The market economy is very good at wealth creation but not perfect at all about wealth distribution.
‐‐ Jonathan Sacks
The market for local advertising is in the billions.
‐‐ Sam Altman
The market for religious apps is fiercely competitive; searching for 'bible' in the Apple App Store returns 5,185 results. But among all the choices, YouVersion's Bible, funded by LifeChurch.tv of Edmond, Oklahoma, seems to be the chosen one, ranking at the top of the list and boasting more than 641,000 reviews.
‐‐ Nir Eyal
The market for short stories is hard to break into, but a magazine editor isn't always looking for big names with which to sell his magazine - they're more willing to try stories by newcomers, if those tales are good.
‐‐ Eric Brown
The market groups and demographics said, 'Teenage guys don't read magazines.'
‐‐ Spike Jonze
The market is a brilliant system for the exchange of goods and services, but it doesn't protect the environment unless it's regulated, it doesn't train your workforce unless it's regulated, and it doesn't give you the long-term investment you want.
‐‐ Ken Livingstone
The market is fast-moving, fast-growing. Things that are true today may not be true tomorrow.
‐‐ Robin Li
The market is good when the local people are in it and believe in it and support it. That's what I want.
‐‐ Harry Triguboff
The market is incredibly inefficient and capable on rare occasions of being utterly dysfunctional. And people have a really hard time getting their brain around that fact. They want to believe that it's approximately efficient almost all the time, and it simply isn't true.
‐‐ Jeremy Grantham
The market is like a language, and you have to be able to understand what they're saying.
‐‐ Jil Sander
The market is no god - it cannot solve every problem.
‐‐ Eric Maskin
The market is not an invention of capitalism. It has existed for centuries. It is an invention of civilization.
‐‐ Mikhail Gorbachev
The market is ridiculously overcrowded with early stage investors. This results in a talent drain, where the best talent gets diffused and work for their own startups.
‐‐ Sean Parker
The market is so competitive. There are so many products that are similar. So we are forced to invest in innovative research in new products that are one or two years ahead of the market.
‐‐ Barry Lam
The market is the creator of social wealth and the wellspring of self-sustaining economic development.
‐‐ Li Keqiang
The market system requires that people be committed and willing to work hard. Inherent with that is what I call a merit system, which I think gives people the greatest opportunity.
‐‐ Lee R. Raymond
The market tends to pay as a wage what an individual laborer is worth. But the case last studied suggests the question how accurately the law operates in practice. May it not be an honest law, but be so vitiated in its working as to give a dishonest result?
‐‐ John Bates Clark
The market town of Cheltenham, in Gloucestershire, was a popular 19th - century English spa. Its mineral springs were supposed to be good for you. This was before the invention of bran. In the 20th century, Cheltenham grew into an active municipality.

The market turns out to be just one special case of collective decision-making.
‐‐ Geoff Mulgan

The marketability, the success of a book, ultimately rests with whether or not people will find the concept/characters/title/cover appealing.
‐‐ M. J. Rose
The marketers can compete with free; it just has to be better. Look at bottled water if you don't believe me.
‐‐ Jonathan Potter
The marketing costs are insane now. So even if you've got a picture like 'Flipped' which cost under $14 million, or $13.5 million, you're still going to spend on an national basis, if you release with a good national release, you're still going to spend, you know, $30-$40 million.
‐‐ Rob Reiner
The marketing department is really an important part of getting an animated film to work. If the people running it are used to selling live action films and the hard rock music and the sex and all those things... Anything outside that, they just don't know what to do with it.
‐‐ Don Bluth
The marketing is just as important as the music, almost.
‐‐ Robyn
The marketing of my movies is something I have no control over! I usually am shown things to give input beforehand. Some directors get really involved with that, but it's not what I do. I don't know anything about marketing; it's not my skill set!
‐‐ Scott Derrickson
The marketing of XP is very deliberate and conscious. Part of it is in co-opting the power of the media; I make sure I'm newsworthy from time to time. Part is in co-opting some of my publisher's ad budget.
‐‐ Kent Beck
The marketplace can handle this. The laws are there. The courts have shown a consistent ability to find a balance between copyright owners and copyright users.
‐‐ Hilary Rosen
The marketplace for books when I entered the business shortly after World War II consisted of a thousand or so well stocked independent booksellers in major towns and cities supplemented by thousands of smaller shops that carried limited stocks of mostly current titles along with greeting cards, toys and so on.
‐‐ Jason Epstein
The marketplace judges technologies by their practical effectiveness, by whether they succeed or fail to do the job they are designed to do.
‐‐ Freeman Dyson
The marketplace tells us that good, visceral storytelling has a place. But there are lots of questions about the format that stories take.
‐‐ Paolo Bacigalupi
The markets are efficient over time.
