One of the difficulties in bringing about change in an organization is that you must do so through the persons who have been most successful in that organization, no matter how faulty the system or the organization is. To such persons, you see, it is the best of all possible organizations, because look who was selected by it ad look who succeeded most in it. Yet, these are the very people through whom we must bring about improvements.
You learn as much from those who have failed as from those who have succeeded.
The aim of torture is to destroy a person as a human being, to destroy their identity and soul. It is more evil than murder. . .

They sought the destruction of other human beings. We have proved that they have not succeeded.

An acquaintance of mine, a notary by profession, who, by perpetual writing, began first to complain of an excessive wariness of his whole right arm which could be removed by no medicines, and which was at last succeeded by a perfect palsy of the whole arm. . . .

If I'd succeeded right away at acting I wouldn't have sought out writing.
You succeeded at your attempts to make me Need you desperately to vindicate me
You have not succeeded in your experiments, that is all there is to it.
What else is there for me to conquer? Hopefully my ego. How will I know when I've succeeded? When I stop caring what anyone thinks.
