" I don’t know many things for sure, but I know this. When you put yourself to the test, when you put everything you have on the line—that’s a risk, because you could find out that you’re not good enough. You can play your guts out, and it still may not be enough. But if you don’t play, you’ll have no chance at all. "

― Rosalind James , Just in Time (Escape to New Zealand, #8)
