You know, Voldemort would have lived longer if he hadn't fucked around with attempted immortality. Ironic.

There's a moral in there somewhere about enjoying the time you're given or something.
Yes the moral is, if born a genius psychopath, maybe check yourself before you wreck yourself.
Nah, Shoot for the stars anyway young Voldemort.
Voldemort's attempt: 

βIf you must fail, fail spectacularly.β
Ransom Riggs
βI donβt check myselfβ is the definition of a psychopath. So good luck with that.
Wouldn't look like a deep water fish too.
Is living long the only measure of success tho?
In this case, yes.
If you attempt to outlive your natural lifespan, and that attempt is the direct cause of your early death, literally foretold by a prophecy. I'd say so.
Did he push the boundaries of the dark arts beyond what anyone ever thought possible? Yes, greatly successful at that.
The measure of success is whether people remember your name π


I'm just messing, I don't think he was successful either way
But I challenge that long life is the measure of success for others
In general yeah, I agree. "It's what you do with the time you're given" etc.
I believe he fucked around and found out.
