“It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all—in which case, you fail by default.”
“Unless you're not pushing yourself, you're not living to the fullest. You can't be afraid to fail, but unless you fail, you haven't pushed hard enough." ”
“If you live to fail, then you fail to live.”
“If you’re going to risk and maybe fail, fail at something that matters. Fail gloriously so that even in failure, lives change.”
“Rejection is a writer's best friend. If you are not failing regularly, you are living so far below your potential that you're failing anyway.”
“The greatest missile in the world is useless...unless it's targeted. A torpedo is adrift unless it has someplace to go. An arrow is pointless unless it hits something. So it's important for kids—for everyone, even if you fail at first—to target something and head in that direction. With all your might.”
