Failure Quote by Fiona Apple
“I really don't think anything I do is a mistake. It could be if I didn't learn from it. But in the long run, no matter what I do for the rest of my life, I'll know I did something wonderful by saying what I felt. That's what I said at the awards there: "Go with yourself." And that's what I did.”

![“I was against it [war in Middle East]. And I was against it very early. And we shouldn't have been in there. And I think it is probably perhaps the worst mistake we have ever made. First of all, they didn't knock down the World Trade Center, OK? It wasn't Iraq. It was other people.” quote by Donald Trump](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/fe7/donald-trump-18_east_i-was-against-it-war-in-middle-east-and_2890396.jpg)
