Summary

This quote suggests that controlling or having influence over someone's financial stability can exert control over their thoughts, desires, and actions. When a person's livelihood and basic needs are dependent on another individual or entity, they may feel compelled to comply with the wishes and demands of the one who holds power over their income or financial support. This highlights the vulnerability and potential manipulation that can arise when one's sustenance is under the control of another person or institution.

Every article and review and book that I have ever published

Every article and review and book that I have ever published has constituted an appeal to the person or persons to whom I should have talked before I dared to write it. I never launch any little essay without the hope and the fear, because the encounter may also be embarrassing that I shall draw a letter that begins, 'Dear Mr. Hitchens, it seems that you are unaware that' It is in this sense that authorship is collaborative with 'the reader.' And there's no help for it: you only find out what you ought to have known by pretending to know at least some of it already.It doesn't matter how obscure or arcane or esoteric your place of publication may be: some sweet law ensures that the person who should be scrutinizing your work eventually does do so.
