Charles Yu Quotes

Failure Is Easy To Measure. Failure Is An Event.Harder To Measure Is Insignificance. A Nonevent. Insignificance Creeps, It Dawns, It Gives You Hope, Then Delusion, Then One Day, When You're Not Looking, It's There, At Your Front Door, On Your Desk, In The Mirror, Or Not, Not Any Of That, It's The Lack Of All That. One Day, When You Are Looking, It's Not Looking, No One Is. You Lie In Your Bed And Realize That If You Don't Get Out Of Bed And Into The World Today, It Is Very Likely No One Will Even Notice.
