“But indefinite visions of ambition are weak against the ease of doing what is habitual or beguilingly agreeable; and we all know the difficulty of carrying out a resolve when we secretly long that it may turn out to be unnecessary.

― George Eliot, Middlemarch

― Maud Hart Lovelace, Betsy and Tacy Go Downtown
