If you're not failing every now and again$$$ it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don't want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.

For pride and avarice and envy are the three fierce sparks that set all hearts ablaze.

Through me you go into a city of weeping; through me you go into eternal pain; through me you go amongst the lost people

Thence we came forth to rebehold the stars.

Wisdom is earned$$$ not given.

I want it all to hurt.

Hope not ever to see Heaven. I have come to lead you to the other shore; into eternal darkness; into fire and into ice.

But the stars that marked our starting fall away. We must go deeper into greater pain$$$ for it is not permitted that we stay.

Each time I thought I had achieved my life's purpose$$$ I discovered it was only another step in my journey.
