Accident is a nonsense term — in a world without purposes the word 'accident' carries no meaning.

The Accident is always better when it happens to others — each one that happens to others is one you avoided.

The Accident mostly happens accidentally.

Accident is a condition where presence of mind is good, but absence of body is better.

The Breakdown is not abnormal — people break down, too, not just machinery.

A Breakdown is a window into the essence of a thing. It is only when machines go wrong that they remind you how powerful they are.

Breakdown is that which provokes a space of possibility.

A Breakdown is never a thing one can predict. Often a man endures for several years, submits and suffers the cruelest punishments, and then suddenly breaks out over some minute trifle, almost nothing at all.

A Defect is not always to be corrected — You attenuate your strengths by too assiduously correcting your defects.

A Defect is never immune from becoming a strength, just as there is no strength that could not become a defect.

Defect is necessary for the existence of individuality.
