I’m a big fan of all-you-can-eat plans, because they’re simpler for customers.

Jeff BezosMicrosoft Research has a thing called the Sense Cam that, as you walk around, it’s taking photos all the time. And the software will filter and find the ones that are interesting without having to think, ‚Let’s get out the camera and get that shot.‘ You just have that, and software helps you pick what you want.
Bill GatesToday, we’re very dependent on cheap energy. We just take it for granted – all the things you have in the house, the way industry works.
Bill GatesOh yes, there’s lots of great food in America. But the fast food is about as destructive and evil as it gets. It celebrates a mentality of sloth, convenience, and a cheerful embrace of food we know is hurting us.

Woody AllenI do everything on my phone as a lot of people do.
Mark ZuckerbergI don’t think people are going to switch over to bikes because it’s good for them or because it’s politically correct. They’re going to do it because it gets them from A to B faster.
David ByrneI met this wonderful girl at Macy’s. She was buying clothes and I was putting Slinkies on the escalator.

Steven WrightHow come anything you buy will go on sale next week?
Erma BombeckI have been known to buy e-versions of my books because I was in a hotel room and I needed one right away to look up something in it; very handy for that – you can have it just the next minute; you can press the button and just have it.

Warren BuffettIt’s easier to add things on to a PC than it’s ever been before. It’s one click, and boom, it comes down.
Bill GatesYoung people are just as attracted to the truth as they are convenience and expediency.
Pope FrancisSo convenient a thing it is to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for every thing one has a mind to do.
Benjamin FranklinI look at other people’s lives, and some people feel like they’re too old to play with toys. But I still go through the toy section at the store, ‚cause there were toys that I wanted when I was little that I couldn’t have. So I still get them.
Kevin GatesPeople seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent.
Bob DylanI went to a general store but they wouldn’t let me buy anything specific.
Steven WrightThe god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals.
William JamesIt was always a plan that we were going to have a retail side with what were doing musically, like an Apple store or Nike Town. I wanted something where you can come get everything – ‚Marathon‘ or ‚All Money‘ or ‚Crenshaw‘ – and make it like an experience. Especially with what Crenshaw and Slauson meant to my story.
Nipsey HussleI barely can go shopping for clothes. I find it difficult to walk into stores. The whole thing bores me so much.
Paul AusterIt is not, of course, complete yet – but some sentences were understood this afternoon… I feel that I have at last struck the solution of a great problem – and the day is coming when telegraph wires will be laid onto houses just like water or gas – and friends converse with each other without leaving home.
Alexander Graham BellThe only time to buy these is on a day with no ‚y‘ in it.
Warren BuffettI don’t feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you’ve got the money to afford them, then buy something from me. Just don’t buy too much.

Bill GatesAmazon.com strives to be the e-commerce destination where consumers can find and discover anything they want to buy online.
Jeff BezosThe bourgeois prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to the deathly inner consuming fire.
Hermann HesseI own my own company, so I’ve never had businessmen telling me what to do or getting worried if something doesn’t sell. I’ve always had my own access to the public, because I started off making my clothes for a little shop and so I’ve always had people buying them.
Vivienne WestwoodWhen you bring in multi-brand retail items into the country, you’re not just bringing the products, but you’re also harming local manufacturers.
Narendra ModiIt’s only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I’m skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I’m big, when I was big, I never thought about it.
Karl LagerfeldDon’t judge. I used to buy underwear because I didn’t do my laundry.
Michelle ObamaSometimes, wearing a scarf and a polo coat and no makeup and with a certain attitude of walking, I go shopping or just look at people living. But then, you know, there will be a few teenagers who are kind of sharp, and they’ll say, ‚Hey, just a minute. You know who I think that is?‘ And they’ll start tailing me. And I don’t mind.
Marilyn MonroePeople shop for a bathing suit with more care than they do a husband or wife. The rules are the same. Look for something you’ll feel comfortable wearing. Allow for room to grow.
