Young Talent

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or talent:

“I regard a love for poetry as one of the most needful and helpful elements in the life- outfit of a human being. It was the greatest of blessings to me, in the long days of toil to which I was shut in much earlier than most young girls are, that the poetry I held in my memory breathed its enchanted atmosphere through me and around me, and touched even dull drudgery with its sunshine.”
—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

“Helen: You’ve got talent and ambition.
Don: Talent? Ambition? That’s dead long ago. That’s drowned. That’s drifting around with a bloated belly on a lake of alcohol.”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
