Subject: RE: Thought for the Day (Dec 16)
Some woman had occasion to submit her writing to Oscar Wilde, hwo told her she need to revise it. She said something to the effect of "oh well, I guess when I am dead and gone, then I will become a published and famous author" to which he replied something to the effect of "No, for I fear, madam, you will find there are no publishers in heaven."

Or, at least that is the way my brother told it.

Good quote, Peter.
