Quote by Malcolm Mclaren
I was taught that to create anything you had to believe in failure

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. – Malcolm Mclaren

I endorsed that attitude. If you cant write songs, no problem – simply steal one and change it to your taste. – Malcolm Mclaren

A lot of women these days, a lot of young women dont want to call themselves feminists.
