Success
Quotes – Do the best you can
“Los
Angeles is a town where status is all and status is only given to success.
Dukes and millionaires and playboys by the dozen may arrive and be glad-handed
for a time, but they are unwise if they choose to live there because the town
is, perhaps even creditably, committed to recognising only professional
success, and nothing else, to be of lasting value. The burdensome obligation
imposed on all its inhabitants is therefore to present themselves as successes,
because otherwise they forfeit their right to respect in that environment ...
There is no place in that town for the "interesting failure" or for
anyone who is not determined on a life that will be shaped in a upward-heading
curve.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Journals of Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1820-1824
“...when
I was successful, but accused of arrogance, I wanted to drag every journalist
who misunderstood to this place, and make them see that for a woman, a
working-class woman, to want to be a writer, to want to be a good writer, and
to believe that you were good enough, that was not arrogance; that was
politics.”
