How much money you get, depends on lots of extraneous things. It depends on how good you are at turning poetry into a marketable product, which is something it was never supposed to be.

#quotes #richard-p-feynman #knowledge

It was the rule to count to ten if instinct wasn't needed, but common sense was. ~Melina Marchetta
