“It is only the failure of my plots I fear.”
“My biggest fear isn’t being a failure as an author but being a failure at being me.”
“I'm proof against that word failure. I've seen behind it. The only failure a man ought to fear is failure of cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.”
“I don’t fear failure. I only fear the slowing up of the engine inside of me which is saying, ‘Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?”
“The only failed book is the one that was never written, out of fear-of-failure.”
“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”
