I was given the freedom to discover my own inclinations and talents, to fashion my inmost pleasures and sorrows myself and to regard the future not as an alien higher power but as the hope and product of my own strength.”

“there are - as every one knows - two kinds of writing: one coming out of your vitals and the other from the top of your head.
