Famous quotes containing the words year and/or failure:
“The first year was like icing.
Then the cake started to show through.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Any effort in philosophy to make the obscure obvious is likely to be unappealing, for the penalty of failure is confusion while the reward of success is banality. An answer, once found, is dull; and the only remaining interest lies in a further effort to render equally dull what is still obscure enough to be intriguing.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
