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
Art school had taught me it was far better to be a flamboyant failure than any kind of benign success. – Malcolm Mclaren
Everyone should be commended for allowing people to make disasters, to make failures – youve just got to be sure that its a magnificent failure and that, by creating a magnificent failure, you plant the seed. – Malcolm Mclaren
I always said punk was an attitude. It was never about having a Mohican haircut or wearing a ripped T-shirt. It was all about destruction, and the creative potential within that. – Malcolm Mclaren
The typical human life seems to be quite unplanned, undirected, unlived, and unsavored. Only those who consciously think about the adventure of living as a matter of making choices among options, which they have found for themselves, ever establish real self-control and live their lives fully. – Karl Albrecht
