Marcia L. Fudge Quotes

Don't plan too hard, because something much better might be out there.

I always leave room for serendipity and chance.

I've never really had specific goals and stuff like that - I think I sort of learned early on that if you kind of let life roll in at your feet, you will get a lot of great stuff if you are just aware and open to it.
