Saturday Wisdom: My favorite writing quote is by Samuel Beckett though it is not technically a quote about writing.The quote is from a prose piece called Worstward Ho: “Nothing else ever. Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” Rarely a day goes by when I have not thought of that quote upon sitting down at my desk to write.  tatteredcover: libraryland: Samuel Beckett by graffiti by artist Alex Martinez, Notting Hill, England.
