Quotes
thumb|I’m not going to limit myself just because people won’t accept the fact that I can do something else. ~
Dolly Parton
He, therefore, who fixes a limit of any kind to his intellectual attainments dwarfs himself, and cramps the growth of that mind given to us by the Creator, and capable of indefinite expansion.
William H. Crogman, "The Importance of Correct Ideals" (1892), in Talks for the Times (1896), p. 282
So put me on a highway And show me a sign And take it to the limit one more time.
Eagles song "Take It to the Limit"
I’m not going to limit myself just because people won’t accept the fact that I can do something else.
Dolly Parton, quoted in British Vogue]
Internally, knowing your limits keeps you humble, motivated, and focused on a goal to point your finger toward. Externally, knowing the limits that are set to you by others gives you a place to point a different finger. And yes, I am talking about the middle one.
Michelle Yeoh as quoted in Harvard Magazine\, May 24, 2023
