― Jean Fritz

“Cynicism was a one-way path, and once taken the way back was lost forever.”

“The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.”

“Success is overrated. We all crave it despite daily evidence that our real genius lies in exactly the opposite direction. Incompetence is what we are good at. It is what marks us off from the animals. We should learn to revere it. All successful people are the same. You know, drive, will to win, determination … it is just too dull to contemplate, whereas everyone who messes up big time does so in a completely individual way. Doing something badly requires skill, panache, genius, exquisite timing and real style.”
― Stephen Pile, The Ultimate Book of Heroic Failures
