I think one of my very favorite films of all time was with Peter Sellers when he played Chauncey, the gardener. Being There.

The point is that if a book that had been published three years ago started to sell twice as many all of a sudden it probably wouldn't even get no­ticed. People wouldn't be tracking it. The system has cleaned up its act an awful lot but the best-seller list system is not an entirely foolproof thing.
Terry Pratchett

And as far as actors go, Peter Sellers is my all-time favorite.

Spending all my remaining money on a ticket to Florence was rendered needlessly complicated by the fact that none of the ticket-sellers had ever heard of the place. At last their supervisor showed up and set them straight by informing them that the city they had always referred to as 'Firenze' was in reality called Florence.

It's embarrassing when you try to overthrow the government and you wind up on the Best Seller's List.

Young adults that actually read are reading bodice rippers and best-sellers and me. And Horror.

A best-seller was a book which somehow sold well because it was selling well.

I take jobs with people I admire, people with incredible talent who aren't necessarily big sellers.
Narada Michael Walden

A best-seller is the gilded tomb of a mediocre talent

Kids don't know about best sellers. They go for what they enjoy. They aren't star chasers and they don't suck up. It's why I like them.
Maurice Sendak

Historically, large-scale global trade has served two functions: 1) the exchange of goods between willing sellers and buyers described in Econ 101 textbooks 2) as a tool of state aggrandizement, in which the private parties are stand-ins for governmental interests.

The measure of a great writer is not how many weeks his books spend on the best-seller lists, but how many years his books remain in print after his death.

Comedy. It was just huge in my house. Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness, Monty Python and all those James Bond movies were highly regarded.
Mike Myers

It is possible to live well with dementia and write best-sellers 'like wot I do.
Terry Pratchett

It is not the individual's right to buy that is being protected. Rather, it is the seller's right to manage the individual.
John Kenneth Galbraith

And as in other things, so in men, not the seller, but the buyer determines the Price.
Thomas Hobbes

Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worth of being saved.
Piero Scaruffi
Image
Most of what we know about sales comes from a world of information asymmetry, where for a very long time sellers had more information than buyers. That meant sellers could hoodwink buyers, especially if buyers did not have a lot of choices or a way to talk back.
Daniel H. Pink

I've learned there's a big difference between a long-focused value investor and a good short-seller. That difference is psychological and I think it falls into the realm of behavioral finance.
James Chanos

I have held the following jobs: office temp, ticket seller in movie theatre, cook in restaurant, nanny, and phone installer at the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

I am always interested in why young people become writers, and from talking with many I have concluded that most do not want to be writers working eight and ten hours a day and accomplishing little they want to have been writers, garnering the rewards of having completed a best-seller. They aspire to the rewards of writing but not to the travail.
James A. Michener

I was lucky enough to be given books that weren't top sellers books that were kind of under the radar
Bill Sienkiewicz

Insider can be more ludicrous. How did I ever end up [as one]? Carsick [Waters's book on hitchhiking] was on the New York Times best-seller list for five weeks. [One of the characters was] a singing asshole that does a duet with Connie Francis! Times have changed. That's mainstream, in a weird way.
John Waters

Even if you are a best-seller you feel insecure because it is all so unpredictable.
