"Louie said nothing, and I glanced at him. He was leaning against the side of the cage, and his shoulders werer slumped and his eyes were tired. 'I didn't learn much I didn't know before,' he said.'You learned that the wages of sin is death,' I said, trying to say something cheerful.'I knew that before,' Louie said. A look of revulsion came on his face. 'The wages of sin!' he said. 'Sin, death, dust, old empty rooms, old empty whiskey bottles, old empty bureau drawers. Come on, pull the rope faster! Pull it faster! Let's get out of this."- Joseph Mitchell (1952) "Up in the Old Hotel"
