I took all of my rejection letters - there must have been thousands of them in a huge box - and I went out on the curb and burned them all, crying. ↗

Bad luck with women is a determined man's road to success. For every affliction, he makes, out of indignation, yet another advancement in order to exceed the man that the woman chose over him.
