Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton Quotes

Say what we will, you may be sure that ambition is an error; its wear and tear of heart are never recompensed, --it steals away the freshness of life, --it deadens its vivid and social enjoyments, --it shuts our souls to our own youth, --and we are old ere we remember that we have made a fever and a labor of our raciest years.

And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it.
