I taught myself to play the guitar by listening to Paul Simon records, working it out note by note. He is an incredibly intelligent
musician. He's not someone who has a natural outpouring of melody like McCartney or Bob Dylan, who are just terribly prolific with musical ideas.
Douglas Adams
I was thinking about the first time I ever saw you,
he said,
and how after that I couldn't forget you. I wanted to, but I
couldn't stop myself. I forced Hodge to let me be the one who came to find you and bring you back to the Institue. And even back then,
in that stupid coffee shop, when I saw you sitting on that couch with Simon, even then that felt wrong to me-- I should have been the
one sitting with you. The one who made you laugh like that. I couldn't get rid of that feeling. That it should have been me. And the
more I knew you, the more I felt it--it had never been like that for me before. I'd always wanted a girl and then gotten to know her and not
wanted her anymore, but with you the feeling just got stronger and stronger until that night when you showed up at Renwick's and I knew.

Cassandra Clare
I ain't giving up on myself, so if you give up on me, I ain't got nothing else to say for you.
Future
What's worked for me is not quitting and being passionate about what I do and not
giving up - and when I don't believe in myself, turning to others who believe in me.
Marc Jacobs
I just got to a point where I was lying to myself constantly, so I had to face up to that. It was a lot
of... I don't want to use the words self sacrifice,
but that's what it felt like. It was giving up
who I thought I was and starting over from scratch and realizing the man that I am was good enough.
Ivan Moody
Growing Stronger
emerged from a need to relate my life experiences as well as my constant
struggle to prevail each day, and as a reminder to myself of the importance of never giving up.
Thalía
I had parents who believed I could do anything - and I know how that made me feel. I think both my
parents, having careers in the medical profession, feel they are helping people on a daily basis, and that
was inculcated in me as a value. I had to struggle with giving up the idea of becoming a doctor myself.
