I became a writer all the same, and shall remain one until the end of chapter, just as a cow goes on giving milk all her life, even though what appears to be her self-interest urges her to give gin. I have not written and published to please other people but to satisfy myself, just as cow gives milk, not to profit the dairyman but to satisfy herself.
