Rahel’s toy wristwatch had the time painted on it. Ten to two. One of her ambitions was to own a watch on which she could change the time whenever she wanted to (which according to her was what Time was meant for in the first place).
Arundhati Roy

I think 'Game of Thrones' was extraordinary. I want to do some period pieces. It would be lovely to tell great stories, that is my main ambition. And to be working with amazing creators.
Stana Katic
Image
You cannot teach ambition.
Amy Chan
Image
What better can any of us do than to reach for our own stars ... and know which they are?
Dorothy Canfield Fisher
Image
You want to be free and break new ground, speak your mind, fear no man, have the neighbours acknowledge that you're a good man and at the same time you want to be a success, make money, join the country club, get the votes and kick the other man in the teeth and off the ladder.
Christina Stead

Comfort kills ambition. Get uncomfortable and get used to it in your pursuit of your goals and dreams.
Robert Kiyosaki
Image
But words are things, and a small drop of ink, Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.
Lord Byron
Image
I didn't have the equipment for the regular world of being a lawyer. I didn't have the imagination for that. I did have a funny kind of ambition, but I didn't know where to put it.
Michael Lindsay-Hogg
Image
I have been absolutely hag-ridden with ambition. If I could wish to have anything in the world it would be to be free of ambition.
Tallulah Bankhead
Image
It hasn't always easy to combine these two competing ambitions and, in retrospect, it's a shame no one steered me towards science communications, which I think would have suited me down to the ground. But careers advice has largely been absent from my life, so I have pretty much made it up as I've gone along!
Suw Charman-Anderson

I think history is only ever invisible when it abets your sense of self, your desires, your ambitions, when it carries your life along in a kind of frictionless way.
Garth Greenwell
Image
The largest ambition has the least appearance of ambition when it meets with an absolute impossibility in compassing its object.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
Imagination awakens ambition, then causes it to lose its way.
Mason Cooley
Image
If we do not know ourselves to be full of pride, ambition, lust, weakness, misery, and injustice, we are indeed blind. And if, knowing this, we do not desire deliverance, what can we say of a man...?
Blaise Pascal
Image
Places like New York are just too intense, too much about money, too much about ambition it's all too superficial for me.
Carmen Kass
Image
Ambition is ever tempered by experience. Otherwise, fortune makes fools of us all.
Mark Kingwell
Image
It is by attempting to reach the top at a single leap that so much misery is caused in the world.
William Cobbett
Image
I don't want to direct. I have no directing ambition whatsoever. And as long as I meet filmmakers like Tom Hooper, Stephen Frears, and others who allow that collaboration, I can't see why I would ever want to direct.
Peter Morgan
Image
In the future, when we get serious about executing things correctly, this thing will be very easy to do. If we find out that this technique does not work, I don't intend to step on dead bodies to achieve something because I don't have that kind of ambition. My ambition is to help people.
Panayiotis Zavos
Image
Why can I never set my heart on a possible thing?
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
There is nothing else that so kills the ambitions of a person as criticisms from superiors. I never criticize anyone...If I like anything, I am hearty in my approbation and lavish in my praise.
Charles R. Schwab
Image
What we have not has made us what we are. / ... / What we are not drives us to consummation.
May Sarton

I really, specifically, love acting, and I think it's a really cool thing to be really indulgent and follow that. I have a lot of ambitions in life, but for the next few years, I just want to be an actor. That's a lucky opportunity, and that drives me to want to be good at that.
Kristen Stewart
Image
If I had not had so much ambition and not tried to do so many things, I probably would have been happier, but less useful.
