"I know in my heart that editors are poor fish (because they often turn down manuscripts of mine that I know are superior to anything they ever saw before), but I fear them just as if they had real intelligence." — Ellis Parker Butler, in his 1923 book, "Ghosts What Ain't."
Butler (1869-1937) was a prolific and popular humorist in his day.
