Theodore Sturgeon Quotes
Every Agent Has A Sig Weiss - As A Rosy Dream. You Sit There Day After Day Paddling Through Oceans Of Slush, Hoping One Day To Run Across A Manuscript That Means Something - Sincerity, Integrity, High Word Rates - Things Like That. You Try To Understand What Editors Want In Spite Of What They Say They Want, And Then You Try To Tell It To Writers Who Never Listen Unless They're Talking. You Lend Them Money And Psychoanalyze Them And Agree With Them When They Lie To Themselves. When They Write Stories That Don't Make It, It's Your Fault. When They Write Stories That Do Make It, They Did It By Themselves. And When They Hit The Big Time, They Get Themselves Another Agent. In The Meantime, Nobody Likes You.
