"I never dare to write
As funny as I can"

- Oliver Wendell Holmes



"What man dare, I dare:
Approach thou like
the rugged Russian bear,
The arm'd rhinoceros,
or the Hyrcan tiger,-
Take any shape but that,
and my firm nerves
Shall never tremble."

- Macbeth, Act iii. Sc. 4



"You gotta dare to suck
in order to be great."

- Ricky Martin




"I can suck melancholy
out of a song
as a weasel sucks eggs.
More! I prithee, more."

- As You Like It,
Act ii. Sc. 5

Why Dare to Suck?

DareToSuck is not "Try to Suck" or "Aspire to Suck," but rather a challenge to try and possibly fail -- to take risks. To dare -- and maybe fall flat on your face, with a community of friends to say "Hey, that sucked! But nice try!"
