Famous quotes containing the word failure:

    I read less and less. I have not forgiven books for their failure to tell me the truth and make me happy.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    ... how have I used rivers, how have I used wars
    to escape writing of the worst thing of all—
    not the crimes of other, not even our own death,
    but the failure to want our freedom passionately enough
    so that blighted elms, sick rivers, massacres would seem
    mere emblems of that desecration of ourselves?
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    Dear George: Remember no man is a failure who has friends. Thanks for the wings! Love, Clarence
    Frances Goodrich (1891–1984)
