Success Quote by Marguerite Young

There is a quiet audacity in the timeline Marguerite Young smuggles into this line: the dream does not start inside the self. It "came into being" first, as if it arrived from elsewhere, acquired gravity, and only then demanded pursuit. That phrasing shifts ambition away from modern hustle mythology (you invent, you grind, you win) and toward something closer to vocation. Young frames desire as an event, not a whim - a thing that happens to you, then asks what you will do about it.

The second half is deceptively simple: "I always pursued it". No flourish, no claim of fulfillment, no victory lap. Pursuit is the point. It reads like a writer's ethic, especially from a 20th-century woman who built a life in letters when that path was structurally harder and culturally easier to dismiss. The sentence proposes persistence as identity: not "I pursued it when it was practical" or "when it paid", but always, a word that turns devotion into a kind of moral stance.

Subtextually, it also refuses the fantasy that dreams stay fixed. A dream that "came into being" can also evolve, mutate, demand rewrites. Young's line makes room for that instability while insisting on continuity of commitment. The intent feels less like motivational poster optimism and more like a disciplined acknowledgment: inspiration is rare and unreliable; when it shows up, you follow it, even if it leads into obscurity, unfinished work, or a life organized around the chase rather than the catch.
