“If I had to live my life again, I’d make the same mistakes,
only sooner.”
-Tallulah Bankhead
This one is for anyone out there with dreams and has hit a road block in life. I enjoy this quote because it emits confidence. To say you would make the same mistakes all over again admits the inevitability of blunders. And I believe this. I don't think there is anything wrong with seeking perfection, but the seeking is the process. It is the road of life that is traveled on, rife with rough terrain and unpredictable turns. And to profess making the same mistakes in life only sooner is to believe that mistakes are necessary building blocks for life and that more will arise as time goes on. And the shear confidence necessary to say you would make the same mistakes all over again shows true belief in oneself. So bring it on, mistakes.
Tallulah Bankhead (1902-1968) was an American stage actress and talk-show host. She was known for her extravagant personality, deep voice, and endorsement of liberal causes. In 1981 she was inducted into the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame.
