“With regard to Banks, they have taken too deep and too wide a root in social transactions, to be got rid of altogether, if that were desirable. They have a hold on public opinion, which alone would make it expedient to aim rather at the improvement, than the suppression of them. As now generally constituted, their advantages whatever they be, are outweighed by the excesses of their paper emissions, and the partialities and corruption with which they are administered.” IfsSocialOpinionTakenPaperAdvantageRootsRegardAimCorruptionWideImprovementExcessDesirableBankingPublic OpinionEmissionsTransactionsSuppressionToo DeepPartiality Author:James Madison

A couple of months after publication letters from readers might arrive. And, leaving aside the professional reviews, it is really the reader's opinions that the writer needs. They vote for a book - and a writer - with their hard earned cash every time they go into a bookstore (or online - that's my age showing!) and buy a book.” WorldNeedsBookHardStoriesMightAgeOpinionAliveMonthsReaderCouplePaperLettersVoteLeavingOnlineReviewsCashPublicationBookstoresWords On Paper Author:Michael Scott
“I wasn't having any luck getting accepted anyway and it forced me to re-examine what it was that I really wanted to do.

“The lure in art collecting and its financial rewards, not counting for a moment its aesthetic, cultural and intellectual rewards, is like the trust in paper money: it makes no sense when you really think about it. New artistic images are so vulnerable to opinion that it wouldn't take much more than a whim for a small group of collectors to decide that a contemporary artist was not so wonderful anymore, was so last year.” ThinkingYearsArtMomentsLastsArtistOpinionWonderfulGroupsPaperIntellectualRewardsFinancialContemporaryVulnerableArtisticAestheticLast YearCountingCollectingCollectorsWhimLureSmall GroupsPaper Money Author:Steve Martin
