I just started reading Island of the Sequined Love Nun by Christopher Moore and thought I’d share this quote from the first chapter:

Success in America doesn’t require any special talent or any kind of extra effort. You just have to be consistent and not fuck up. That’s how most people fail. They can’t stand the pressure of getting what they want, so when they see that they are getting close, they engineer some sort of fuckup to undermine their success.
