mistakes we knew we were making

"In general, not everything that is new is trendy; not everything that is different is gimmicky; not everything that is truthful must fall within well-known formal parameters. The goal is to have fun and push forward, no? Let us do that, and then, once that's done, we and you should go and have a nice sandwich, and eat it slowly, and watch the sidewalk for small children riding small bikes with their friends, yelling Wait up! Wait up! WAIT! UP!"

Dave Eggers
