Jack Monroe Quotes

Woody Allen has a wonderful line: 'Today I'm a star. What will I be tomorrow? A black hole?' That's very important to know - that you have the moment, then you lose the moment. You have to see your chances, you have to take them, and you also have to see when you don't have chances to take.

Tomorrow may never come to us. We do not live in tomorrow. We cannot find it in any of our title-deeds.
