BEST MOMENTS

"Is there anything you can't do? She asked"

"To me it's a great thing. You see, the other name for a jack-of-all-trades is a polymath, from the Greek word polymathes, meaning having learned much. So this jack-of-all-trades master of none, I don't buy it."

"I've come to believe over the years that it's in the nature of mankind to explore. To possess endless curiosity and to quest for knowledge."

"What if she'd stayed in her lane? What if she'd stuck to her knitting and just did the normal stuff that deaf and blind people were expected to do in the day?"

"Ask yourself, what would have happened if these jacks of all trades had specialised and stayed in their own lanes and just focused in on that one thing?"
