Sometimes you can fail in an experiment. But if you fail, you still don't stop observing that thing, looking for a better way.

You can imagine: 99 percent of your experiments fail for one reason or another.

There are people who say that you can't experiment... That condemns you to failure.

Experimentation is an active science.

You accept failure as a possible outcome of some of the experiments. If you don't get failures, you're not pushing hard enough on the objectives.

For each of us who appear to have had a successful experiment there are many to whom their own experiments seem barren and negative.

Of course, not everybody's willing to go out and do the experiments, but for the people who are willing to go out and do that, - if the experiments don't work, then it means it's not science.

Science is curiosity, testing and experimenting.

Every experiment, by multitudes or by individuals, that has a sensual and selfish aim, will fail.

Creative experimentation propels our culture forward. That our stories of innovation tend to glorify the breakthroughs and edit out all the experimental mistakes doesn't mean that mistakes play a trivial role. As any artist or scientist knows, without some protected, even sacred space for mistakes, innovation would cease.
