Zhaba Zhournal

Friday, May 30, 2003  Friday Five  1. What do you most want to be remembered for? Causing no intentional harm, and remaining true to my principles; and, hopefully, having principles that are, and remain, fair and honest. (And writing good novels that actually get published, but I don't know if I'll be able to make that happen.) 2. What quotation best fits your outlook on life? "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."—Samuel Beckett (cheerful, I know). 3. What single achievement are you most proud of in the past year? Not having a complete nervous breakdown due to the stress of planning my wedding. 4. What about the past ten years? Getting an A on a paper from Harold Bloom—a paper he didn't even agree with. (It compared the roles of Shylock and Antonio in The Merchant of Venice; the title was "'Which is the merchant here, and which the Jew?': Antonio, Shylock, and the Merchandise of Venice.") 5. If you were asked to give a child a single piece of advice to guide them through life, what would you say? Know that you don't know everything, but trust what you know that you know.
