I haven't the faintest idea what my royalties are. i haven't the faintest idea how many copies of books sold, or how many books that i've written. i could look these things up; i have no interest in them. i don't know how much money i have. there are a lot of things i just don't care about.

Money Night Crowds
If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

There is not a more disgusting spectacle under the sun than our subserviency to british criticism. it is disgusting, first, because it is truckling, servile, pusillanimous--secondly, because of its gross irrationality. we know the british to bear us little but ill will--we know that, in no case do they utter unbiased opinions of american books . . . we know all this, and yet, day after day, submit our necks to the degrading yoke of the crudest opinion that emanates from the fatherland.
