“Rome took all the vanity out of me, for after seeing the wonders there, I felt too insignificant to live, and gave up all my foolish hopes in despair."
"Why should you, with so much energy and talent?"
"That's just why, because talent isn't genius, and no amount of energy can make it so. I want to be great, or nothing. I won't be a common-place dauber, so I don't intend to try anymore.”
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

“Life is a theatre set in which there are but few practicable entrances.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
