Large Traps

Famous quotes containing the words large and/or traps:

    The elements of success in this business do not differ from the elements of success in any other. Competition is keen and bitter. Advertising is as large an element as in any other business, and since the usual avenues of successful exploitation are closed to the profession, the adage that the best advertisement is a pleased customer is doubly true for this business.
    Madeleine [Blair], U.S. prostitute and “madam.” Madeleine, ch. 5 (1919)

    The notion of making money by popular work, and then retiring to do good work, is the most familiar of all the devil’s traps for artists.
    Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
