"Survival,
with honor, that outmoded and all-important
word, is as difficult as ever and
as all-important to a writer. Those
who do not last are always more beloved
since no one has to see them in their
long, dull, unrelenting, no-quarter-given-and-no-quarter-received,
fights that they make to do something
as they believe it should be done
before they die. Those who die or
quit early and easy and with every
good reason are preferred because
they are understandable and human.
Failure and well-disguised cowardice
are more human and more beloved."
Ernest Hemingway
"The
more we exploit nature, The more our
options are reduced, until we have
only one: to fight for survival."
Morris K. Udall
"Nobody
is stronger, nobody is weaker than
someone who came back. There is nothing
you can do to such a person because
whatever you could do is less than
what has already been done to him.
We have already paid the price."
Elie Wiesel
"Once
one determines that he or she has
a mission in life, that is not going
to be accomplished without a great
deal of pain, and that the rewards
in the end may not outweigh the pain
- if you recognize historically that
always happens, then when it comes,
you survive it." Richard M. Nixon
"The
consciousness of being deemed dead,
is next to the presumable unpleasantness
of being so in reality. One feels
like his own ghost unlawfully tenanting
a defunct carcass." Herman Melville
"In
spite of everything that was done
to me and my race, in spite of the
adversity and the bitter moments,
again we rise." Maya Angelou
