Galileo: Yes, I am dissatisfied, and that's what you'd be paying me for if you had any brains. Because I'm dissatisfied with myself. But instead of doing that you force me to be dissatisfied with you.
—Bertolt Brecht, Life of Galileo, Scene 1. Galileo is complaining to the university procurator that they don't pay him enough, so he has to waste his precious time teaching to make ends meet, instead of solving the mysteries of the universe.
Sounds like the dilemma of every writer!
