1 " My greatest fear is time wasted—a life spent. My greatest fear is passing away from this world without leaving a lasting impact. "
― M.J. Chrisman , The Remnant: The Legend of the Seer
2 " So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged. I was set free, because my greatest fear had been realised, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life. "

3 " As it turned out, my greatest fear in life had become expectations. "
