quotes people should stop using
"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among stars!" - Les Brown
Let's get this popular piece of crap out of the way first, because you know what? Fuck your stars. If I wanted stars, I'd be aiming for stars. I aimed for the moon. And I'm certainly not about to let you bait and switch my life ambitions with some vague celestial analogy. How about something more realistic like "Shoot for the moon and prepare to be encompassed by crushing darkness when you miss." or "Shoot for the treetops and while you're up there, can you check the roof for your brother's Frisbee?" This quote has probably been poetically scrawled in at least half of the classrooms of your childhood and does nothing but encourage acceptance of your inevitable life failures.
