Margaret Atwood, A Sunday Drive

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether be a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success.

Where The Shadow Ends// BANNERS and Young Bombs

Yet from those flames, No light, but rather darkness visible.

John Milton, Paradise Lost

[literaryadventures22]

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
