All apartments are eligible as I ever heard tell of, just as all shopkeepers, barring that publican next door, are respectable.
Henry Savile Clarke

To found a great empire for the sole purpose of raising up a people of customers, may at first appear a project fit only for a nation of shopkeepers. It is however, a project altogether unfit for a nation of shopkeepers; but extremely fit for a nation whose government is influenced by shopkeepers.
Adam Smith
Most artists, whether in religion, music, literature, painting, or what not, are shopkeepers in disguise. They hide their shop as much as they can, and keep pretending that it does not exist, but they are essentially shopkeepers and nothing else.
Samuel (novelist Butler
Barring drink and the girls, I ne'er heard of a sin –
Many worse, better few, than bright, broken Maginn.John Gibson Lockhart
If fallacies come knocking at my door,
I'd rather feed, and shelter full a score,
Than hide behind the black portcullis, doubt,
And run the risk of barring one Truth out.Ella Wheeler Wilcox
When you clean them up, when you make movies respectable, you kill them. The wellspring of their art, their greatness, is in not being respectable.
