Not everybody thought they could be a dentist or an automobile mechanic but everybody knew they could be a writer.
Fonte: Factotum (1975), Ch. 73
Contexto: There were always men looking for jobs in America. There were always all these usable bodies. And I wanted to be a writer. Almost everybody was a writer. Not everybody thought they could be a dentist or an automobile mechanic but everybody knew they could be a writer. Of those fifty guys in the room, probably fifteen of them thought they were writers. Almost everybody used words and could write them down, i. e., almost everybody could be a writer. But most men, fortunately, aren't writers, or even cab drivers, and some men - many men - unfortunately aren't anything.

“A descoberta consiste em ver o que todo mundo viu e pensar o que ninguém pensou.”
Imagine what a harmonious world it could be if every single person, both young and old shared a little of what he is good at doing.
