You'll admit there's no blooming reason except the public's blooming hignorance why a man shouldn't do as good a picture on the pavement as on a piece of canvas, provided he 'ave the blooming genius.
It is the price he must pay for his gift. It is the personal equation, the star, who appeals to the public's imagination. I do not think it is the star who keeps the game alive. Champions are not born. They are made.
The most famous piece of hostile criticism to which he was subjected was Ruskin's remark, after looking at "The Falling Rocket" in 1877, that here was a fellow with the effrontery to charge a hundred guineas for flinging a pot of paint in the public's face. Some further years of abuse followed, and then the pendulum swung the other way, and the eccentric artist became a sort of cult.
This gave still further edge to the public's disregard; no one likes you to accept with grace what is intended for punishment. Matzai carried away the breakfast tray, and Richard lighted a cigar. Matzai returned and stood mute inside the door, awaiting new commands.

"Bully for you, Alice. I wish I'd thought it myself." Alice was much pleased by this handsome speech. "Yes," she said; "perhaps really it would be best to begin with it. It would attract the public's attention, and then we could tell the fortunes.
You remember what I told you that I'd get evidence, lawyer-fashion. I've got it; evidence of the sort that would turn the people of this State into a howling mob to tear up your tracks if I should publish it." "But I tell you we can't withdraw the specials, you wild-eyed fanatic!" "All right; then level down the public's rates to fit them. And do it quickly, old man.
The consolidation would raise the value of the Suburban nearly two million dollars at the public's expense. Hayden had seen Cargan. Cargan had drafted Ordinance Number 45, and informed Hayden that his price for passing it through the council would be the sum you have juggled in your possession on Baldpate Mountain two hundred thousand dollars."
