Muriel Strode

I have a quote by a woman named Muriel Strode, I've never heard of her, but after doing some research it appears that she is known for her quotes this is probably her most famous one, "Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." I like this quote inparticularly because, it kind of represents me and probably any sibling with a big brother or sister. When I was a boy, I wanted to be just like my big brother...literally. There almost was not a shirt that he had that I did not have. I even got my haircut the same way (even though I didn't know any other haircuts anyways). But the point is later my brother started getting into things that I myself was not into myself, and I did not want to follow him down this path. So I branched off, and started being my own person. For the first time in my life I went to the store and bought clothes that I liked, not that I did not like the ones I used to wear, but this was the beginning of a new era for me, something new sounded...well, good. Ever since then I've been doing pretty good, I have a great girlfriend, I fit in with my friends even more than I used to, and it is even easier to make friends. So, even before I read this quote I followed what Muriel said, and I thank her for that.
Some other points of interest I would have to say is that this quote can obviously mean more than one thing, depends on how you take and relate it to your life once you've read it. It can be refering to how you may bring up your kids. That's just an idea that I've got. But I'm sure there are more out there if I were to ask around.
There was not much information on her background, but what I've got is she was born in 1875. She was the second of four children, she was an American poet and writer, and died in 1930. Her most famous quote is the one at the top.
Thank you for reading, there will be three more quotes up next week!
