I prefer to be foolish when I feel like it, and be accountable to nobody.

Willa Cather
About This Quote

I prefer to be foolish when I feel like it, and be accountable to nobody. When I am doing something that I think is foolish but I don’t feel like being held accountable, then I will do it anyway. What I mean is that if you do something that you know is foolish but you are not accountable for it, then don’t feel guilty about it.
