Surely the vogue of proverb

 Surely the vogue of those twisted and contorted human figures must be as short as it is artificial.

 I don't think I did anything that damaged Vogue's circulation drastically. I did some bum covers. Actually there was one cover that was completely out of focus, but it looked intentional. Fine. I think Vogue was healthy enough at that time not to worry about its sales figures.

 I want to stress that these are indicative numbers, if tomorrow one of the countries is affected or a new country is affected, these figures will change. If, and we all hope we won't have to, we face human to human transmission, all of these figures would be multiplied by several orders of magnitude.

 It?s like, 'Surely this is going to be the last one? This will be the last one.' And they just keep putting them out. But I guess in some strange, twisted way it?s a form of flattery in that people are interested in what?s going on with us. But it is frustrating.

 The society of merchants can be defined as a society in which things disappear in favor of signs. When a ruling class measures its fortunes, not by the acre of land or the ingot of gold, but by the number of figures corresponding ideally to a certain number of exchange operations, it thereby condemns itself to setting a certain kind of humbug at the center of its experience and its universe. A society founded on signs is, in its essence, an artificial society in which man's carnal truth is handled as something artificial.
  Albert Camus

 We live in a society whose whole policy is to excite every nerve in the human body and keep it at the highest pitch of artificial tension, to strain every human desire to the limit and create as many new desires and synthetic passions as possible, in
  Thomas Merton

 If -- and we all hope we won't have to -- we face human to human transmission, all of these figures would be multiplied by several orders of magnitude.

 Frankly, we haven't seen an environment as extreme as we saw in 1999 and the first part of 2000 for some time. We have gone through quite an usual period, so hopefully our experience is reflective of the fact that we can perform in years in which our style is clearly not in vogue, and in years when it is in vogue.

 I like real problems, the human condition - twisted, darker stuff.

 They kept hitting me in the side of the ribs. Just in the heat of battle. I twisted it (in the third), and then I twisted it again. I wanted to come out, but I didn't want to come out. We were trying to make a run.

 [The red library is Sui's tribute to fashion maven Diana Vreeland, who served as editor for Harper's Bazaar (1939-1962) and Vogue (1963-1961).] My most precious collection is my bound Vogue magazines, ... and they're kind of like my Bible. I look at them all the time when I'm trying to inspire myself for a collection.

 Something as artificial and human as an hour wouldn't last five minutes here. It would be dried out and shrivelled up in seconds.
  Terry Pratchett

 There is a lot of noise in the short interest figures, ... It's a stretch to come to a market investment conclusion or even an inference based on short interest.

 Strong economic figures surely highlight expectations of further Fed rate increases, boosting the dollar.
