Thought of the day;

Here at home, we don't murder or imprison our artists. We starve them. About 275,000 books were published in the United States last year. Despite this vast number, the Wall Street Journal estimates that fewer than a thousand writers earn enough from writing that they don't need a day — or maybe a night — job to support themselves. That's about two out of every thousand writers. Most writers earn around $28,000 a year.
What do our artists have to say that merits public support? Only a word that sustains life, that sustains hope.
