More From Paul Simon

To love is to risk, not being loved in return. to hope is to risk pain. to try is to risk failure. but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in my life is to risk nothing.
Love Life Pain
I am no fun at all. in fact, i am anti-fun. not as in anti-violence, but as in anti-matter. i am not so much against fun - although i suppose i kind of am - as i am the opposite of fun. i suck the fun out of a room. or perhaps i'm just a different kind of fun; the kind that leaves on bereft of hope; the kind of fun that ends in tears.
Fun Opposites Tears
Managing risk is a key variable, frankly, all aspects of life, business is just one of them, and one of the things that most people do in terms of managing risk, that's actually bad thinking, is they think they can manage risk to zero. everything has some risk to it. you know, you drive your car down the street, a drunk driver may hit you. so what you're doing is you're actually trying to get to an acceptable level of risk.
Zero Thinking Keys
Mastery over the body - its impulses, its needs, its size - is paramount; to lose control is to risk beauty, and to risk beauty is to risk desirability, and to risk desirability is to risk entitlement to sexuality and love and self-esteem.
Self Esteem Risk Size
There is a risk of death associated with donating a piece of liver. it's about one in 500 for the risk of death. the risk of death of donating a kidney is about one in 3000, so this is a riskier operation than donating a kidney. the stakes are usually higher for the recipient of the transplant because unlike kidney failure, where you have a dialysis machine, in liver failure we don't have that kind of machine that allows a patient to survive until they can get a cadaver organ.
Risk Kidneys Cadavers
Failure's relative. i've always felt, even early on, if i lose the freedom to fail, something's not right about that. it's how you treat failure, too. there's something to learn from it. i've had movies that have failed colossally, so you kind of analyze your failures: what kind of failure was it? a failure because it's misunderstood by others? a failure because you misunderstood it yourself?
Misunderstood Kind Failing
