If the world didn't owe her a living, as her mother repeatedly warned her, it owed her a break. She had a strong sense that a better, more exciting, more rewarding life than that which had been the lot of her parents and grandparents was hers by right. In this she was guilty of nothing more serious than the arrogance of youth, from which every generation suffers and by which it distinguishes itself from the preceding one. ~James Robertson

But it's very hard to say just what we learned, how we were changed. ~Ursula K. Le Guin

I was asked the other day if I would be interested in the Nobel Prize, but I think that for me it would be an absolute catastrophe.
