"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
...


"Hand in hand with equal plod they go.  In the free hands--no.  Free empty hands.  Backs turned both bowed with equal plod they go.  The child hand raised to reach the holding hand.  Hold the old holding hand.  Hold and be held. Plod on and never recede.  Slowly with never a pause plod on and never recede.  Backs turned.  Both bowed. Joined by held holding hands.  Plod on as one."


                                                                                  -Samuel Beckett, Worstward Ho (1983).
