Something will be there when the flood recedes. We know that. It will be those people now standing in the water, and on those rooftops, many black, many poor. Homeless. Overlooked. And it will be New Orleans, though its memory may be shortened, its self-gaze and eccentricity scoured out so that what's left is a city more like other cities, less insular, less self-regarding, but possibly more self-knowing after today. A city on firmer ground. ~Richard Ford

Failure is fantastic, because you meet yourself and get to know your limitations. This is how I express myself, and I can't do it any other way. ~Billy Childish

I'm an untrained musician. Untrained musicians don't really have any music theory, they don't have a lot of rules. We break the rules, but it's mostly because we don't know what the rules are. It's easy for us to go to certain places, so I'm not surprised that a lot of people were amused by my songwriting style. ~Frank Black

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. ~Theodore Roosevelt
#quotes #theodore-roosevelt #success #failure #trying

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are. ~Norman Vincent Peale

There is no right to deny freedom to any object with a mind advanced enough to grasp the concept and desire the state. ~Isaac Asimov

Man has gone long enough, or even too long, without being man enough to face the simple truth that the trouble with man is man. ~James Thurber

When one has not father, or mother, or brother, and all one's friends have barely bread enough for themselves, life cannot be very easy, nor its crusts very many at any time. ~Ouida

It is quite impossible these days to assume anything about people's educational level from the way they talk or dress or from their taste in music. Safest to treat everyone you meet as a distinguished intellectual. ~Ian Mcewan

She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman. ~Oscar Wilde
#quotes #oscar-wilde #fashion

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. ~William Arthur Ward
