Cent Stake

Famous quotes containing the words cent and/or stake:

“The agent never receipts his bill, puts his hat on and bows himself out. He stays around forever, not only for as long as you can write anything that anyone will buy, but as long as anyone will buy any portion of any right to anything that you ever did write. He just takes ten per cent of your life.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

“I’ll stake all my soul
on that beauty,
till God shall awake
again in men’s hearts,
who have said he is dead
our King and our Lover.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
