The person we are when we fall

Stumbled upon this quote from the character Dalinar Kholin in Oathbringer series. If the series is as great as the quote, I should probably read the series.

“But if we stop, if we accept the person we are when we fall, the journey ends. That failure becomes our destination. To love the journey is to accept no such end. I have found, through painful experience, that the most important step a person can take is always the next one.”
