About This Quote
The full quote from this article from The New Yorker is, “The city is a wolf pack. Let them howl. Let the wolves pant. You have evolved.
You were not fashioned to run in a pack, or to be defined by the opinions of those who wish to limit your creativity.” When we are young, we are eager to be part of a group and we want to fit in. Sometimes, when we try to conform to the expectations of others, we end up fulfilling their expectations instead of our own. As we get older and begin to take charge of our own lives, we realize that it is not what others expect of us that matters; it is what we expect and want for ourselves that matters most.
