All the seven deadly sins are self destroying, morbid appetites, but in their early stages at least, lust and gluttony, averice and sloth know some gratification, while anger and pride have power, even though that power eventually destroys itself.

That's why many people suppose that the better the poet you are the lower your income should be, and that's probably true. ~Robert Bringhurst
