Wit and wisdom from the author of Trainspotting:
Hopefully you grow old, but never up. My whole life’s been a midlife crisis. Dunno whether it’s a prolonged adolescence or a premature menopause, it’s seamless to me.
Failure teaches you everything. Success teaches you nothing at all. You learn things about people, how two-faced and sycophantic they can be. People who wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire when you’re a failure are suddenly all over you when you’re successful.
