I'm happy that I wrote 'How Should a Person Be?' and I wouldn't have written that exact book if we had just done the play. So much of the book is about the anxiety of failure - the failure of the play and the failure of the divorce and the failure of not feeling like a good person.

With the author

I find that when I'm in a relationship, I'm just so 'in it,' you couldn't even call it an art; it's such embroilment. With a friendship, you can choose a little bit more how to behave. You can be guided more.

Sheila Heti

Only in our failures are we absolutely alone. Only in the pursuit of failure can a person really be free. Losers may be the avant garde of the modern age.

Sheila Heti

Usually, you don't have commitment promises in a friendship. Usually, it just grows.

Most success springs from an obstacle or failure. I became a cartoonist largely because I failed in my goal of becoming a successful executive.

Scott Adams

Fear of failure is caused by lack of self-esteem and confidence. Dealing with fear is the key to super success.

Dan Pena

Failure is a word that I simply don't accept.

John H. Johnson

The failure of the system to deal quickly was attributable to Nixon's lying, stonewalling and refusal to come clean. So it took 26 months for the final truth to be known.

Bob Woodward

Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.

Zig Ziglar

Ultimately there is no such thing as failure. There are lessons learned in different ways.

Twyla Tharp

So I try not to have any actual expectations for myself for any level of success or failure.

Gavin DeGraw

It's a failure of imagination if you can only write what you know - we have to be able to imagine different worlds.
