People dont choose their careers; they are engulfed by them. – John Dos Passos

The most successful career must show a waste of strength that might have removed mountains, and the most unsuccessful is not that of the man who is taken unprepared, but of him who has prepared and is never taken. On a tragedy of that kind our national morality is duly silent. – E. M. Forster

Vocations which we wanted to pursue, but didnt, bleed, like colors, on the whole of our existence. – Honore de Balzac

To hunger for use and to go unused is the worst hunger of all. – Lyndon B. Johnson
