To fail to experience gratitude when walking through the corridors of the Metropolitan Museum, when listening to the music of Bach or Beethoven, when exercising our freedom to speak, or ... to give, or withhold, our assent, is to fail to recognize how much we have received from the great wellsprings of human talent and concern that gave us Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, our parents, our friends. We need a rebirth of gratitude for those who have cared for us, living and, mostly,... William F. Buckley, Jr.
I have never done anything except write, but I don't possess the vocation or talents of a narrator, have no knowledge at all of the laws of dramatic composition, and if I have embarked upon this enterprise it is because I trust in the light shed by how much I have read in my life. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Plautus quote: "Ut saepe summa ingenia in occulto latent (How often the..."
Ut saepe summa ingenia in occulto latent (How often the greatest talents are shrouded in obscurity) Plautus
Haruki Murakami quote: "If you're young and talented, it's like you have wings."
If you're young and talented, it's like you have wings. Haruki Murakami
As I have said before, I had no illusions about my performing ability. But I did not know that my despair was brought about not because I had no talent but because I did not know how to develop it. Shinichi Suzuki
Lucius Annaeus Seneca quote: "Nllum magnum ingenium sine mixtr dmentiae fuit. No great..."
Nllum magnum ingenium sine mixtr dmentiae fuit. No great talent without an element of madness Lucius Annaeus Seneca
His talent was to express his reader? most stupid and ignorant prejudices as if they made sense, so that the shameful seemed respectable. That was why they bought the paper. Ken Follet
Gather up your loins, daughter. You named Lillian Florence Jones after my mother. A toughter lady never lived. Find your talent and drive it. Toni Morrison

They affect flamboyant behaviour and claim originality according to the fashionable eccentricities of their time.
