“We were taught never to give up, never to passively accept fate, but to exhaust every last ounce of will and hope in the face of any challenge.”

“Robert and I decided last night that we are going to fight this thing with every ounce of strength that we have, she declared. We will not give in to it as long as the Lord gives us breath. We will fight it minute by minute and hour by hour, Meteor. But we will never give up. Our love and faith will get us through this dark time.”

“Never give up. And never, under any circumstances, face the facts.”

“I suspect the most we can hope for, and it's no small hope, is that we never give up, that we never stop giving ourselves permission to try to love and receive love.”

“To remain indifferent to the challenges we face is indefensible. If the goal is noble, whether or not it is realized within our lifetime is largely irrelevant. What we must do therefore is to strive and persevere and never give up.”

“We dream to give ourselves hope. To stop dreaming - well, that’s like saying you can never change your fate.”
