“Only the second-rate never make mistakes.”
“you never make the same mistake twice. the second time you make it, it is no longer a mistake. it is a choice”
“Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.”
“The qualities of a second-rate writer can easily be defined, but the first-rate writer can only be experience. It is just the thing in him which escapes analysis that makes him first-rate.”
“You can never make the same mistake twice because the second time you make it, it's not a mistake, it's a choice.”
“never be a second-rate version of someone else, be a first-rate version of yourself”
