Inventory Quotes

Sayings about counting, stocking, and taking stock

This set of inventory quotes moves between literal stocktaking, such as listing items in a warehouse or a store, and a more reflective sense of tallying up what life has accumulated over time. It's a reminder that keeping track of possessions can also mean keeping track of priorities, much like the themes explored in our Disability quotes.

I did quite a lot of menial jobs. I was a waiter, an inventory clerk touring round properties listing cups and saucers, and a laserquest marshal.

Quotes by Richard C. Armitage

Quotes by Albert Claude
