“I didn’t have to think up so much as a comma or a semicolon; it was all given, straight from the celestial recording room. Weary, I would beg for a break, an intermission, time enough, let’s say, to go to the toilet or take a breath of fresh air on the balcony. Nothing doing!”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“Change of fashion is the tax levied by the industry of the poor on the vanity of the rich.”

—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
