Mario Vargas-Llosa Quotes

Why Did You Spend Your Whole Life Working In An Insurance Company? You Should Have Been A Painter, A Musician, Well, I Don't Know. Why Didn't You Follow Your Calling?"

Don Rigoberto Nodded And Reflected A Moment Before Answering.

"Because I Was A Coward, Son," He Finally Murmured. "Because I Lacked Faith In Myself. I Never Believed I Had The Talent To Be A Real Artist. But Maybe That Was An Excuse For Not Trying. I Decided Not To Be A Creator But Only A Consumer Of Art, A Dilettante Of Culture. Because I Was A Coward Is The Sad Truth. So Now You Know. Don't Follow My Example. Whatever Your Calling Is, Follow It As Far As You Can And Don't Do What I Did, Don't Betray It.
