“People like you have the luxury of failing more than once. The world will pick you up, dust you off, and send you on your way, nothing lost and nothing gained. You get to keep going, and going, until you get the result you want. And if you do decide to give up, there's a nice cushion for you to land on. That's why you have mottoes like 'fail fast,' and 'failure is the best teacher.”

“Much like a young child, a dragon you can neither hear nor see is one that is at its most dangerous.”
