Quotes on quotes on quotes

Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark places where it leads. ¾Erica Jong

When I first read this quote, I thought oh, why does having a talent always have to be some dark emotional thing? Upon further inspection, I’ve come to understand that what the quote is saying is that your talent will lead you to places you could never have imagined. Exploring a talent means stepping into the unknown, discovering the possibility that you have no limits. Going into the depths of your talent and potential is dark at first, simply because you had yet to unveil all that is there.

Boom.


And that is how you break down a quote. It amazes me that I am not an English teacher. It really does.
