This is the paradox for me: in failure alone is there any possibility of success. I don't think I'm alone in this - nor do I think it's an attitude that only prevails among people whose work is obviously 'creative'.

With the author

The whole aesthetics of computers very much feeds into my OCD. They fill my head with obsessionalities and my actions become very repetitive. It seems quite inimical to the dreamy state out of which fiction comes which seems so much less causally repetitive than the way one works on computers.

Will Self

The great liberty of the fictional writer is to let the imagination out of the traces and see it gallop off over the horizon.

Will Self

I loathe computers more and more, so I have one I can shut down and shelve like a book.

Will Self

The future continues to preoccupy me as a reliable source of hopes, fears and anxieties, but increasingly the present seems to have no outstanding qualities of its own, being merely a way-station through which events travel to the vast shadow lands of the past.

My attitude on skis is different now. I have learned to put less pressure on myself and on the edges of my skis when I'm racing, to be keep myself more under control.

Hermann Maier

Meekness implies a spirit of gratitude as opposed to an attitude of self-sufficiency, an acknowledgement of a greater power beyond oneself, a recognition of God, and an acceptance of his commandments.

Gordon B. Hinckley

Information's right at our fingertips, but so is what you want to believe. It's the classic thing of someone Googling 'autism vaccines' - they'll find what they're looking for, depending on what they think. You'll find lots of people who are just bolstering what they already think, bolstering their cultural attitude.

Adam Conover

Eagles come in all shapes and sizes, but you will recognize them chiefly by their attitudes.

E. F. Schumacher

You can't study comedy; it's within you. It's a personality. My humor is an attitude.

Don Rickles

I think the truth is, we are all racist, really, when it comes down to it. I think all of us have to check ourselves from time to time, and say, 'Look, that sort of attitude isn't good enough.' It takes discipline to keep our prejudices out.

Peter Hollingworth

It got very tedious saying the same jokes in the same way with the same attitude.

Norm MacDonald

I reckon you have to put a presence in front of your opponent - a bit of confidence and attitude - and then you can change what their next move may be.
