Maggie StiefvaterSomewhere fate laughs in her far-off country, because now I am the human and it is Grace I will lose again and again, immer wieder, always the same, every winter, losing more of her each year, unless I find a cure.
About This Quote
When we make mistakes, we do not learn from them. We think we can avoid repeating them. We learn from them by making the same mistakes again and again and learning from them each time. What we learn is like a chain of pearls – each one is stronger than the one before it – and we build up strength and wisdom with each mistake we make. At some point we become wiser than that which we’ve learned, and then we really grow and achieve something that’s truly wonderful.
