"I’m the one I should love in this world."

I quite agree with them that it is not an ennobling experience. Poverty entails fear, and stress, and sometimes depression; it means a thousand petty humiliations and hardships. Climbing out of poverty by your own efforts, that is indeed something on which to pride yourself, but poverty itself is romanticised only by fools.

You have to be willing to sacrifice, to put in the time and effort.

I don’t know what art is, but I know what I like.
