"An editor's job is exactly like that of a waiter. He has to go and get something good and bring it in. And after he has brought it in, he has to go right out and get something more and bring that in. The minute he sits down or stops to talk unnecessarily with the guests, he ceases to give as good service as before. Then the guests who praised him a moment ago begin to growl." — John M. Siddall, longtime editor of the American Magazine, in his collection of columns "Sid Says" (1922).
