Quotes: Helen Macdonald

"Being a novice is safe. When you are learning how to do something, you do not have to worry about whether or not you are good at it. But when you have done something, have learned how to do it, you are not safe any more. Being an expert opens you up to judgement." 

–– Helen Macdonald (b. 1970), British writer, naturalist, and scholar
