All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the base of our splendid failure to do the impossible.

The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.

Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.

Without failure there is no achievement.

Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.
