Profession Quotes
-
In my profession it isn’t a question of telling good literature from bad. Really good literature is seldom appreciated in its own day.

I’ll be dead myself then. Successful incompetents are what I need.

The latter may also crop up in a coolie, in which case it is particularly effective.
