failing is an achievement art is loving mistakes
“I think it is necessary to educate the new generations about the value of defeat, its management, the humanity that arises from it; to build an identity capable of feeling a sense of shared destiny, where one can fail and start again without compromising one’s worth and dignity; to not become a social elbow-thrower; to not step over others to get ahead. In this world of vulgar and dishonest winners, of false and opportunistic oppressors, of people in power who plunder the present, let alone the future, to all the neurotics of success, of appearance, of becoming. In this anthropology of the winner, I much prefer those who lose. It’s an exercise that I do well and it reconciles me with my meager sanctity.” – Pierpaolo Pasolini
