Write without pay until somebody offers to pay.
These people´s God has shown them by a million acts that he respects none of the Bible´s statues. He breaks every one of them himself, adultery and all.
The banging and slamming and booming and crashing were something beyond belief. [On Lohengrin]
I was born modest, but it didn't last.
Everything human is pathetic
To write without pay until somebody offers pay. If nobody offers pay within three years, the candidate may look upon this circumstance with the most implicit confidence as the sign that sawing wood is what he was intended for.
