Margaret Drabble Quotes

I can remember when I first got to los Angeles . I didn't have a car, I didn't have any money. I was walking the streets, you know, trying to get from place to place on foot almost.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Failure isn't really an option because, as my grandmother used to say, "Nothing beats a failure but a try."
