Quotation from: The Little Lady of the Big House

Written by: Jack London


But if Dick Forrest did not excel at anything, he failed in nothing.
He displayed no superlative strength, he betrayed no weakness nor
deficiency. As he told his guardians, who, by his unrelenting good
conduct had been led into dreaming some great career for him; as he
told them, when they asked what he wanted to become:


"Nothing. Just all around. You see, I don't have to be a specialist.
My father arranged that for me when he left me his money. Besides, I
couldn't be a specialist if I wanted to. It isn't me."
