I would have thought that I would have become one of those parents - just because it's my nature to be such a perfectionist - that anything falling short, I would have seen as a failure. But something has happened to me over the past few years - it's not Zen, believe me, I'm not at all Zen - but I'm so appreciative of even the chaos. Brooke Shields Failure
I'm not scared of anything in particular, but I am motivated by a fear of failure as opposed to a need to succeed. Heston Blumenthal Failure
Yes - I am usually overweight. I have had to be interested in diet because of being diabetic for 30 years and having kidney failure. Sue Townsend Failure
It's not a failure if a marriage or partnership ends after a certain number of years. I think, in general, we expect too much of partners. We can't fulfil a person's every single need and, after ten years or so, many relationships wear out. If we were more philosophical about it, we wouldn't try to blame the other person or be bitter. Deborah Moggach Failure
The failure to dissect the cause of war leaves us open for the next installment. Chris Hedges Failure
The exposed nature of life in the public square affects leaders' attitudes toward risk - and failure. Dee Dee Myers Failure
The study of literature threatens to become a kind of paleontology of failure, and criticism a supercilious psychoanalysis of authors. John Updike Failure
I don't take it very seriously. You shouldn't let your success get to your head or failure get to your heart. This is most commonly said. But people don't really practise it. I don't see myself as a celebrity; it has not sunk in. I just see myself as someone doing a nine-to-six job like a techie. Rakul Preet Singh Failure
Life is bigger than cinema. Cinema is just a part of life, so I never take success or failure seriously. Pawan Kalyan Failure
If I were not African, I wonder whether it would be clear to me that Africa is a place where the people do not need limp gifts of fish but sturdy fishing rods and fair access to the pond. I wonder whether I would realize that while African nations have a failure of leadership, they also have dynamic people with agency and voices. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Failure
Due to the failure of politics, which has become a process of middle-management, art has become one of the last open spaces to question core beliefs and to design a viable future. Art becomes an open space where we can ask fundamental questions about ourselves. Antony Gormley Failure
The failure of the White House and Congress to seriously address the nation's fiscal situation is certain to broaden the belief among many voters that the U.S. political system is broken. Ron Fournier Failure
The worst time was 1983. Love and life and everything went wrong. I reached absolute rock bottom. I saw the Minotaur at the bottom of the abyss. I learnt of the harshness of the world and its impartiality to human failure. Ben Okri Failure
You look at any culture, and prohibition has invariably been an unmitigated failure. It is just idiotic to criminalise any substance, I think. Rhys Ifans Failure
Failure is what we're all running from, we're always running toward success with failure at our back. Natalie Goldberg Failure
