From: Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

"Go ahead and fail. But fail with wit, fail with grace, fail with style. A mediocre failure is as insufferable as a mediocre success. Embrace failure! Seek it out. Learn to love it. That may be the only way any of us will ever be free."

Tom Robbins
Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

P.S.: Thanks to real-life friend Trilby for suggesting this quote for a booknapping.

    Try failing synchronistically from 999 miles away! Doesn't get much more graceful and stylish than that.

    Oooh, I like it. I think I'll strive for most book rejections ever before finally selling another story! We'll how that goes.
