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.

Failure is an enigma. You worry about it, and it teaches you something.

Failure has been my best friend as a writer. It tests you, to see if you have what it takes to see it through.

Failure doesn't kill you... it increases your desire to make something happen.

I was very afraid of failure because if you fail at something you love, then you ruin what you love.

There's something to be said for failing. It's not the failure you feel, it's the failure that people project when something disappoints. You're back to ground zero, where there's no expectations, and that's where I like to be.

I'm drawn to failure. I feel like I'm contending with it constantly in my own life.

I constantly experience failure in that my work is never as good as I want it to be. So I live with failure.

I felt a failure because I couldn't sustain myself from what I earned from my writing. My day jobs were what mattered, and it was hard to even get those because universities wouldn't hire me as a real writer.
