Paid Quotes (page 12)

Jon Ronson quote: "Oh, you know what bloggers are like, they write and write and..."
Oh, you know what bloggers are like, they write and write and write. I don't know why, because they're not being paid. Jon Ronson
If you wrote something for which someone sent you a cheque, if you cashed the cheque and it didn't bounce, and if you then paid the light bill with the money, I consider you talented. Stephen King
...he was after all, a novelist...and a novelist was simply a fellow who got paid to tell lies. The bigger the lies, the better the pay. Stephen King
Women should have free access to every field of labor which they care to enter, and when their work is as valuable as that of a man it should be paid as highly. Theodore Roosevelt
I wrote a book called ‘Dancing The Dream’. It was more autobiographical than Moonwalk, which I did with Mrs. Onassis. It wasn’t full of gossip and scandal and all that trash that people write, so I don’t think people paid much attention to it, but it came from my heart. It was essays, thoughts and things that I’ve thought about while on tour Michael Jackson
I believe that it was the highest privilege of my life to wear the uniform of the United States Marine Corps. I don’t believe the country owes me anything for doing so, but that my serving was partial payment on what I owe our country—a debt that can be never fully paid, but with my life. Robert Hall

Unfortunately, a superabundance of dreams is paid for by a growing potential for nightmares Peter Ustinov
The price we have paid for expecting to be so much more than our ancestors is a perpetual anxiety that we are far from being all we might be. Alain de Botton
I know when a couple are really in love with each other. And by that I do not mean just sexually attracted. There is too much talk about sex, too much attention is paid to it. I do not mean that anything about sex is wrong. That is nonsense. But sex cannot take the place of love, it goes with love, but cannot succeed by itself. Agatha Christie
If you're black, you got to look at America a little bit different. You got to look at America like the uncle who paid for you to go to college, but who molested you. Chris Rock
It's like rain on your wedding day. It's a free ride when you've already paid. It's the good advice that you just didn't take. Who would've thought... it figures Alanis Morissette
What did I know of life, I who had lived so carefully? Who had neither won nor lost, but just let life happen to him? Who had the usual ambitions and settled all too quickly for them not being realised? Who avoided being hurt and called it a capacity for survival? Who paid his bills, stayed on good terms with everyone as far as possible, for whom ecstasy and despair soon became just words once read in novels? One whose self-rebukes never really inflicted pain? Well, there was all this to... Julian Barnes
If that was true he must have felt that he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for living too long with a single dream. F. Scott Fitzgerald
We forget that every good that is worth possessing must be paid for in strokes of daily effort. We postpone and postpone until those smiling possibilities are dead... By neglecting the necessary concrete labor, by sparing ourselves the little daily tax, we are positively digging the graves of our higher possibilities. William James
For the next two hours Denise mainly paid attention to her hand, which she'd laid on the sofa cushion within easy reach of Robin's. The hand wasn't comfortable there, it wanted to be retracted, but she didn't want to give up hard-won territory. When the movie ended they watched TV, and then they were silent for an impossibly long time, five minutes or a year, and still Robin didn't take the warm, five-fingered bait. Denise would have welcomed some pushy male sexuality right around now. Jonathan Franzen
