The important thing is not the fall, it's the landing.

Kostas Maros

"It's the story of a man who falls from a 50-story building. As he falls, the guy keeps repeating to himself to reassure himself: "So far, so good... So far, so good... So far, so good." But the important thing isn't the fall. It's the landing." (Hubert Koundé, La Haine (1995), written by Mathieu Kassovitz) Underwater landing study, June 2019.
