Gabriela Mistral

“For Nirvana, putting out their first major-label record was like getting into a new car. But the runaway success was like suddenly discovering that the car was a Ferrari and the accelerator pedal was Krazy Glued to the floorboard.”
“Winning isn't the end of the world”
“I write down portions, maybe fragments, and perhaps an imperfect view of what Im hoping to write. Out of that, I keep trying to find exactly what I want.”
“[Physicists] feel that the field of bacterial viruses is a fine playground for serious children who ask ambitious questions.”
“There is a policy in manner. I have heard one, not inexperienced in the pursuit of fame, give it his earnest support, as being the surest passport to absolute and brilliant success.”
“I have to keep healthy; otherwise, I jeopardise my career.”
“Swimming has given me a lot. It's given me a respect for people and different cultures around the world when I've been competing abroad. I've learnt many life skills and met so many friends around the world that I might not have had otherwise. I'm focused and driven and I guess swimming has made me that way.”
“I have always had a particular antagonism for the military.”
