American writer
1897–1962
11 quotes, most often on Time and Failure.
All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible.
I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle is ever won he said. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.
