Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
A truce to philosophy!—Life is before me, and I rush into possession. Hope, glory, love, and blameless ambition are my guides, and my soul knows no dread. What has been, though sweet, is gone the present is good only because it is about to change, and the to come is all my own.
