I've envied you over the years, carving out a different life for yourself, going where the wind blows you. That takes guts." For the briefest sliver in time, the world shimmered and Sugar saw her life as an enviable jewel: a shining gem radiating energy and possibility that no one but she would ever possess, no matter what its deficiencies.

About This Quote

Being an artist is a job that everyone would love to have. However, the truth is that most people who want to be artists don’t have the talent or skill to do so. It takes a special type of person who has the ability to create something out of nothing. There s no such thing as an overnight success, and those who succeed in their field of work will work extremely hard for many years before achieving their goal.

Sugar didn’t only want it for herself, she wanted it for the world. She was determined to make a difference in a world where there were so many problems and obstacles standing in her way.
