'"...The man who aims true at the ring with his lance is drunk with joy. He carries off the prize, and congratulates himself on having had the courage to compete. But he who has broken several lances with no result goes away saying: "My luck is bad; I will not try again." And he too is pleased that he has profited by experience and has had the courage to read himself a salutary lesson..."'
from The Piccinino by George Sand (Chapter VIII)
