The Truly Ambitious Are Always As Busy On The Landings As They Are Breathless On The Stairs.

Today's Competitiveness, So Much Imposed From Without, Is Exhausting, Not Exhilarating; Is Unending-a Part Of One's Social Life, One's Solitude, One's Sleep, One's Sleeplessness.

True Individualists Tend To Be Quite Unobservant; It Is The Snob, The Would Be Sophisticate, The Frightened Conformist, Who Keeps A Fascinated Or Worried Eye On What Is In The Wind.

On Any Morning These Days Whole Segments Of The Population Wake Up To Find Themselves Famous, While, To Keep Matters Shipshape, Whole Contingents Of Celebrities Wake Up To Find Themselves Forgotten.

The Thrust Of Ambition Is, And Always Has Been, Great, But Among The Bright-eyed It Had Once A More Adventurous And Individualistic Air, A Much More Bracing Rivalry.
