Failure vs. Fiasco

A while back I read this in a newsletter (don't recall which one) and I clipped it. I think it's a quote from the movie Elizabethtown:

As somebody once said...there's a difference between a failure...and a fiasco. A failure is simply the non-presence of success. Any fool can accomplish failure.

But a fiasco…A fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions. A fiasco is a folktale told to others... that makes other people feel more alive... because it didn't happen to them.

Apropos nothing...
