Quotes to Inspire

"My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others, and that's nice, too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success."
-Helen Hayes

"If you really want to hurt your parents and you don't have nerve enough to be homosexual, the least you can do is go into the arts."
-Kurt Vonnegut

"My most important piece of advice to all you would-be writers: when you write, try to leave out all the parts readers skip."
-Elmore Leonard

"Everything that doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. And later on you can use it in some story."
-Tapani Bagge

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Ausen is a classic.

Synopsis: For sensible Elinor Dashwood and her impetuous younger sister Marianne the prospect of marrying the men they love appears remote. In a world ruled by money and self-interest, the Dashwood sisters have neither fortune nor connections.

Concerned for others and for social proprieties, Elinor is ill-equipped to compete with self-centered fortune-hunters like Lucy Steele, while Marianne's unswerving belief in the truth of her own feelings makes her more dangerously susceptible to the designs of unscrupulous men. Through her heroines' parallel experiences of love, loss, and hope, Jane Austen offers a powerful analysis of the ways in which women's lives were shaped by the claustrophobic society in which they had to survive.
