Summary

This quote suggests that the most outspoken critics of an author's work are often individuals who have never actually taken the time to read the books they are criticizing. It implies that these critics may form biased opinions based on assumptions or second-hand information about the content of the books, rather than forming judgments based on their firsthand reading experience. Consequently, the quote highlights the importance of exploring and understanding a subject thoroughly before making critical judgments or assumptions about it.

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed. Out of the hard and unusual struggle through which he is compelled to pass, he gets a strength, a confidence, that one misses whose pathway is comparatively smooth by reason of birth and race.

I said good-bye to my first true love and discovered what I really wanted to do with my life.
