Guess the quote
Hi everybody,
I've had the idea to make a game where we guess quotations from movies, music, poetry or philosophy.
I'd say the first person who guesses it right is next to proceed within one day. If the person is prevented for any reason, anyone else, who is up for it, can step in.
Who said: 'I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.'?
Join in!

That's supposedly Thomas A. Edison

Re: Guess the quote
Most probably, if not certainly.
Unfortunately I don't know what to do with your quotation. Is it from a movie?

Re: Guess the quote
No, the person was a writer, and he died in 1989 (in Paris).

Fine. Maybe writers and philosophers are a bit difficult to start with. Blame it on me.

Re: Guess the quote
I'm afraid that's still too difficult to guess. Marianne Sägebrecht said it in 'Out of Rosenheim'.
Next attempt: Who said 'This is an ex-parrot.'?
