“CREEP Other people have written about war. About how one plane sweeps over and the whole place is ablaze in minutes. About how a young man may kill another young many with perfect legality. I prefer to write about less sudden things. About how we inch further away without even noticing. And then it's too late. Or is it? No it's not too late to say sorry, we were wrong, let's try again to get along. No, it's not too late to quit lying, halt the greed, stop polluting air earth and seas. I prefer to write about less noisy things. About change happening so gradually that one day you just accept the world as different. And you don't question because you're old, and you don't feel like making waves, and anyway, they'd say you were insane.......”

“That man doesn't know how to fail and that's his greatest weakness. You see, and always remember this, there are two things you need to know how to do in life : Firstly, you need to know how to win, secondly, you need to know how to fail beautifully. You need to know how to fail so beautifully, that it looks just like winning! These two things, you hear? But that man only knows how to win and when you don't know how to fail, you miss some of the best turns in life. You see, the best places we end up in are from the wrong turns we took on the trips to where we thought we needed to go! You get lost on the map, at the race, and you end up in places you thought you'd never be: those are always the best stories. But you'll never have that in life if all you know how to do is win, if you don't know how to get lost. You have got to know how to fail, too. You don't wanna be like that man. Part of being a winner, is knowing how to fail beautifully.”
