After a few years, you realize that if nobody wants your right thing, it isn't the right thing for business, and you have to decide if you want to resign and pursue your art with intellectual integrity, or keep working in the sausage factory that generates revenue.

They make something they're proud of, and it costs more than Subway, but it's worth it.
