"Another thing that generally cheers me up is "banking" my finished works. All my adult life, I've had this non-rational belief that my main function in life was to get as many works into my Final Account as possible. I actually have a physical feeling of contentment when I imagine myself inserting a new finished work into the slot in the building that holds The World's Cultural Works. It's exactly as in Monopoly as one accumulates properties, hotels and money!" --Bob Grumman
   (With me, it's more like, as Leonard Cohen once replied to an interviewer who contested his self-description as 'mediocre': "The evidence accumulates.")
