Charles Scribner, Jr. born today in 1921

" Looking back, I am bound to say that working with Hemingway was rather like being strapped in an electric chair. All the electrodes were always in place, and it would need just a flicking of a switch to ruin me......

I don't think it made me cowardly, but it made me nervous."

- Charles Scribner, Jr., concerning his on - off publishing relationship with his most famous and tempermental author, Ernest Hemingway.
