    No either/or - the best of both worlds: a dilettante's joy in all one does for work; dabble away ably w/ the ethos of a pro.

    Cobblestones and high heels are a match for the pros. The dilettante in my street is about to learn the hard way.

    If it comes to loving what I do, let me be a dilettante all my life. Money and recognition go to my agent, who's a real pro.

    The cure for boredom is curiosity; is it better to be dilettante than troglodyte or polymath? I think I prefer curious

    You cannot be a dilettante in prison. You have to be all pro. Some are beyond pro, they are criminally insane. Like Mando.
