“Nothing can be delicious when you are holding your breath.”

“...If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!”

“When your last breath arrives, Grammar can do nothing.”

“If you can force your heart and nerve and sinewTo serve your turn long after they are gone,And hold on when there's nothing in youExcept the Will which says to them: "Hold on!”

“When your heart is shattered into a million pieces, all you can do is try to keep holding on. You breathe. You try to fall asleep. You try to not think about him.”

“When you have nothing other than your breath, then you are fully alive.”
