Oh, Cursed Ambition... | Favourite Quote

Picking only one quote is rather difficult. There are many phrases I admire from a range of writers, musicians, actors, historical figures, etc. but there is a recent quote I found that has had a huge impact on me, to the point where I'm planing on getting it tattooed on me!

"Oh, cursed ambition, what hast thou brought me to now?"

I found this quote while watching Antiques Roadshow yes, you can call me a loser and I fell in love with it! It was painted on an old vase, displaying a scene involving Napoleon Bonaparte. It was so quirky.

I really love this quote. To me, it's a positive message telling me that, though my dreams may be huge, impossible to reach, and may even put me in questionable situations, no matter what happens, the journey has been beneficial.

It's almost a way to blame my dreams for wherever I end up! I will try to succeed and will probably fail, but the fact I tried is what counts.

Having big dreams is a curse, but it just makes life more exciting.
