Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people do that, but great people are the ones who make you feel that you too, can be great.
~Mark Twain
I love this! Being a teenager and dreaming of studying literature in Cambridge I am constantly told how naive I am, and that I should instead concentrate on becoming a lawyer or a dentist. I know my chances to be accepted into Cambridge University are tiny, but what is wrong with letting me dream a little longer? I can't stand it when people tell me that I am not going to make it anyway. Why don't they at least let me try?
