Pay Interest

Famous quotes containing the words pay and/or interest:

“But there’s another knowledge that my heart destroys
As the fox in the old fable destroyed the Spartan boy’s
Because it proves that things both can and cannot be;
That the swordsmen and the ladies can still keep company;
Can pay the poet for a verse and hear the fiddle sound,
That I am still their servant though all are underground.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Society has really no graver interest than the well-being of the literary class.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
