About This Quote

In this quote, W.C. Fields gives a humorous example of the differences between those who are actually talented and those who are not. If you have an exceptional talent, then others will want to listen to your songs. However, those who do not have that special ability will only look at those who share their songs. In a sense, it is a matter of vanity, as the person only wants the best for themself and therefore never publicizes their works.
