Buyers Quotes

“The world economy would collapse if a significant number of people were to realize and then act on the realization that it is possible to enjoy many if not most of the things that they enjoy without first having to own them.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana, The Use and Misuse of Children

“The buyers of useless things are wiser than is commonly supposed--they buy little dreams. They become children in the act of acquisition. When people with money succumb to the charms of those useless little objects, they possess them with the joy of a child gathering sea shells on the beach--the image that best expresses the child's happiness. He gathers shells on the beach! No two are ever alike for a child. He falls asleep with the two prettiest ones in his hand, and when they're lost or taken from him (A crime! They've made off with outward bits of his soul! They've stolen pieces of his dream!), he weeps like a God robbed of a just-created universe.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

“You have three types of followers: buyers, advocates, and elevators. Buyers buy your products or services and contribute to profits. Advocates give you free publicity and potential opportunities by referring you and sharing your posts. Elevators swell your posts through likes, comments, and engagements. This is what I like to refer to as the Relationship Status of B.A.E. Each one is essential to your brand, and you need all three to grow.”
