I discovered that rejections are not altogether a bad thing. They teach a writer to rely on his own judgment and to say in his heart of hearts, "To hell with you." Saul Bellow
I got nice rejections explaining that historical fiction was a difficult sell. But I kept trying. Anita Diament
Save your rejections so that later when you are famous you can show them to people and laugh. Meg Cabot
But on the extremist side I didn't get any rejections at all. Everyone agreed to talk to me. Jon Ronson
Every note leaves in each of us a memory, but it is the melody as a whole that tells a story, the story of someone wanting to get closer to another person and who keeps on trying, despite repeated rejections. Paulo Coelho
Persistence is a unique mental strength; a strength that is essential to combat the fierce power of the repeated rejections and numerous other obstacles that sit in waiting and are all part of winning in a fast-moving, ever-changing world. Bob Proctor
