Gloria Steinem Quote

I have been running into people who are not doing what they want to do.

Also, I am reading On the Road, by Jack Kerouac. I just finished a section, so sad, about Jack (Sal) in Michigan who met a woman who did nothing but hang out on her porch, eating popcorn. She had no idea what she wanted.

It is so important to know what you want to do and to do it.

As Gloria Steinem said at a Tufts University commencement speech:

Whatever you want to do, do it now. For life is time, and time is all there is.

What if all I want is to be a Victorian housewife? A little painting, some roses, perhaps a nap? Then a cocktail.
