I was taught that to create anything you had to believe in failure, simply because you had to be prepared to go through an idea without any fear. Failure, you learned, as I did in art school, to be a wonderful thing. It allowed you to get up in the morning and take the pillow off your head.

Sorry, are you saying your demon-slaying buddies need to be driven to their next appointment with the forces of darkness by my mom?

God has two dwellings one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart.
