“The wonderful fortune of some writers deludes and leads to misery a great number of young people. It cannot be too often repeated that it is dangerous to enter upon a career of letters without some other means of living. An illustrious author has said in these times, "Literature must not be leant on as upon a crutch; it is little more than a stick.” PeopleMeanLittlesSaidYoungLiteratureNumbersCareersWonderfulDangerousLettersMiserySticksFortuneAuthorshipCrutches Author:Jean Antoine Petit-Senn
“Living in Montgomery, I've been antagonized by the emergence of a narrative about our history that I believe is quite false and misleading, and actually dangerous. And the narrative that emerges when you spend time in the South - places likes Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana - is that we have always been a noble, wonderful, glorious region of the country, with wonderful, noble, glorious people doing wonderful, noble, glorious things. And there's great pride in the Alabamians of the nineteenth century.” PeopleBelieveCountryI BelieveWonderfulCenturyDangerousPrideSouthNobleLikesNarrativeGloriousRegionsEnd TimesSpend TimeMisleadGeorgiaNineteenth CenturyMississippiEmergenceLouisianaAlabamaMontgomery Author:Bryan Stevenson
