Famous quotes containing the word pay:
“The most durable thing in writing is style, and style is the most valuable investment a writer can make with his time. It pays off slowly, your agent will sneer at it, your publisher will misunderstand it, and it will take people you have never heard of to convince them by slow degrees that the writer who puts his individual mark on the way he writes will always pay off.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“Orsino. There’s for thy pains.
Feste. No pains, sir, I take pleasure in singing, sir.
Orsino. I’ll pay thy pleasure then.
Feste. Truly, sir, and pleasure will be paid, one time or another.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I am so much a Unitarian as this: that I believe the human mind can admit but one God, and that every effort to pay religious homage to more than one being goes to take away all right ideas.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
