“It’s not enough to be great, Charley. I tried to tell you in Philly. I tried to tell you in L.A. We’re infested with rats! [to Peg, Charley’s fiancee] He’s not just a kid who can fight, he’s money! And people want money so bad they make it stink!”
—Abraham Polonsky (b. 1910)
“The man who invented Eskimo Pie made a million dollars, so one is told, but E.E. Cummings, whose verse has been appearing off and on for three years now, and whose experiments should not be more appalling to those interested in poetry than the experiment of surrounding ice-cream with a layer of chocolate was to those interested in soda fountains, has hardly made a dent in the doughy minds of our so-called poetry lovers.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
