“It is impossible to pursue a successful literary career and follow the advice of all one's 'best friends'.I feel compelled to follow the light which my own intellect & judgement cast upon my way, rather than any one of the many conflicting rays which other minds would lend me.” WayFeelsMindLightMy OwnCareersSuccessfulImpossibleAdviceCastsIntellectPursueMy WayJudgementRaysCompelled Book:Complete Poetical Works of Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Delphi Classics) Source: Complete Poetical Works of Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Delphi Classics)
“But me, not destined such delights to share, My prime of life in wandering spent and care; Impell'd, with steps unceasing, to pursue Some fleeting good, that mocks me with the view That, like the circle bounding earth and skies, Allures from far, yet, as I follow, flies; My fortune leads to traverse reams alone, And find no spot of all the world my own.” WorldCareEarthMy OwnViewsStepsSkyShareFortuneDelightCirclesPursueSpotsWanderPrimeDestinedFleetingExileAllureEarth And SkyTraversePrime Of Life Book:Goldsmith's miscellaneous works Source: Goldsmith's miscellaneous works
“Growing up, I was the weird, theatrical kid who always tried to make people be in my plays. I've always loved comedy, but when it came time to figure out what I was going to go to school for, my parents were like, "Acting?! I don't think so. No." It took me a while to get the courage to pursue it. I had to do it in secret for a little bit, and then when I got married and was out on my own, I went for it.” PeopleThinkingLittlesPlayKidsSchoolBitsParentMy OwnActingSecretGrowing UpComedyGrowingFiguresMarriedLittle BitPursueTheatrical Author:Wendi McLendon-Covey
