“The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing knowledge” – Albert Einstein (Page 21)
This quote stuck out to me first before any other quote. I interrupted this quote to talk about not only apply to me being in college but to also represent my life. Fantasy and dreaming is something yu get to do as a child. Unfortunately, you cannot stay a child very long in this world. You are an adult much longer than being a child. But the knowledge you gain from growing up is something you can never replace. Knowledge and being book smart isn’t the only way you can be intelligent.
“Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act” – Truman Capote (Page 20)
I loved this quote because its such a good life saying. Life can be unpredictable and life isn’t easy at an age. The older you the more responsibility you have. And then at the end of this life you die with nothing. There can be so many good points in life. Kids, marriage, money, successful career, and family. The bad part is that if you don’t have all of this or some of these in a lifetime people with say you didn’t “fulfill” your whole life even though that may not be true. You can always change the course of your life if you really want to or have the passion to.
“You miss all the fun if you obey all rules” – Katharine Hepburn (Page 22)
Not only is Ms. Hepburn one of my personal favorite actors but also an inspiration to me. She embodies a lot of qualities I wish to gain. This quote is nothing different from how I feel. Rules are set mostly to set standards and to keep you safe. The rules are also not always correct. When you bend the rules it can be fun and led to many different ways of entertainment. Fun is exactly what you make it and breaking rules can be. Kids eat more candy then they are suppose to, you might sneak out of school to hang out with a boyfriend. All of these are part of life and having fun and living life to the fullest. No one who experienced the greater things in life followed all the rules all the time and that is okay.
