Lois McMaster Bujold - The revolt,” breathed Galen...

The revolt,” breathed Galen almost to himself, "must not die.”
"Even if everybody in it dies? ‘It didn't work, so let's do it some more'? In my line of work, they call that military stupidity. I don't know what they call it in civilian life. (Lois McMaster Bujold)

Mikhail Bakunin

I've missed over 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
