When I was in London, I saw this quote by Samuel Beckett and thought it was kind of depressing, but encouraging at the same time. There are so many things that we fail at that may destroy our will to continue trying them, but try them again we must and if we fail again, it is with more knowledge than when we failed the first time.

This is my best friend's favorite quote! Any plans to sell this one? Or even make prints? I would definitely be interested. If so, email me at: beth_schofield at hotmail dot com.
I love this too... it is so true that there is no learning without failure. I too would love to buy a print of it for my junior high classroom. Will you please tell me if that might be an option? ljhub8@yahoo.com. Thanks!
Yes! I'll make prints tonight. Glad you guys like it!
It reminds me of the Dinosaur Comics shirt that says "Failure is just success rounded down."
Which is to say, It's Awesome!
oh - so beautiful in every way! you are indeed the talented one. i think i like the dinosaur quote a lot too.
Wow your stuff is so cool. I linked here through Sarah. I don't think I've met you, but I feel like I know you because you seem to be linked to everyone's blog or linkup profile that I know. Anyway, I'm going to have to look through your stuff and possible make a purchase. Very fun.
Beautiful. So simple I love it!
will you be selling this one? or a print of it? bookwurmy@gmail.com
That is magic looking! I think your picture captured perfectly the optimism in the quote. I saw your scherenschnitte video on youtube, and I went and bought an x-acto knife today so I can get started. Thanks for the inspiration, and lesson! - Linnea

Ike Turner used to say "I respectfully beat Tina."
It it kinda like that?
I agree with the others, you took a quote that might have sounded a bit sad, (depending on your mood when you read it). But you visually turned it into something so optimistic and uplifting, not to mention BEAUTIFUL! Your blog is lovely, I'm so glad I stumbled upon it!
