“I would ... go up to the mailbox and sit in the grass, waiting. ... Till it came to me one day there were women doing this with their lives, all over.

If there were woman all through life waiting, and women busy and not waiting, I knew which I had to be.” IfsYearsMadeWaitingJourneyHairGoes OnOne DayLettersBusyStartingGrassGrayMailboxes Author:Alice Munro

There's no shame in starting small; in fact, if you don't start small, you'll probably never start at all.” PeopleIfsFactsDreamNextStepsJourneyRight NowShameStartingPursuitFinding YourselfContemplatingVentureNext StepsHesitantNew Ventures Author:John C.

“I remember when I was first starting out in the late 50's, and everybody at that time said rock 'n roll was gonna die. I was 15 years old when I started, and I certainly didn't believe that was true. I thought anything that feels this good and makes me want to tap my foot like this can't be a passing fad like everybody says.

“As always, the blessed relief of starting, a feeling that was like falling into a hole filled with bright light. As always, the glum knowledge that he would not write as well as he wanted to write.
