Richard Russo Quote

If you paid me for work, continued Max, whose rhetoric was more sophisticated than you might expect from a man with food in his beard, I wouldn't have to feel worthless. There's not law says old people have to feel worthless all the while, you know. You paid me, I'd have some dignity.Now it was Mile's turn to nod and smile agreeably. I think the dignity ship set sail a long time ago, Dad.
