Vivie Monologue from Mrs. Warren's Profession

From Mrs. Warren's Profession by George Bernard Shaw

female · philosophical · 40 sec

Everybody has some choice, mother. The poorest girl alive may not be able to choose between being Queen of England or Principal of Newnham; but she can choose between ragpicking and flowerselling, according to her taste. People are always blaming circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.
