    I feel like that quote is better interpreted as “you haven’t failed until/unless you give up.” There is also value to “don’t go into something without committing to it,” but damn not everything has to be a fucking job.

      Let’s not let those people “have” Star Wars quotes. Same thing when Nazi trash in America tried to co-opt the “Ok” hand sign, Hawaiian shirts, etc. I was a bit dismayed by how fast people were willing to cede those things away. My take is: They can’t have them, don’t give up so easily.
