C. S. Lewis Quotes

This snake's hard to kill.

Victory lies in not getting defeated.

We can't cut and run.

Ghouls weren't smart, but like the Energizer Bunny they kept going and going.

There been times when I thought I couldn't last for long But now I think I'm able to carry on It's been a long, been a long time coming But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

I'm a little shot that just kept on shooting.

You can still function as a living ruin.

As a tree, even though it has been cut down, is firm so long as its root is safe, and grows again, thus, unless the feeders of thirst are destroyed, the pain (of life) will return again and again.

My enemies can take what they want, but my life is mine and so long as I breathe, it has value. I won't ever give up. Not again.

In the absence of hope we must still struggle to survive, and so we do-by the skin of our teeth.

No hardy perennial has the enduring quality of hope. Cut it to the roots, stamp it underfoot, let frost and fire work their will, and still some valiant shoot will push, to grow again on such scanty fare as it can find. Only time and the cruel quicklime of fact can destroy that stubborn urgency.

The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived.

I will survive For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.

As long as there's life, there's hope.

Surviving means being born over and over.

I'm here because they've killed almost all of us, but not all of us. And that's their mistake, son. That's the flaw in their plan. Because if you don't kill all of us at once, whoever's left are not going to be the weak ones. The strong ones- and only the strong ones- will survive. The bent but unbroken, if you know what I mean. People like me. And people like you.

I shall continue to exist. I may assume other disguises, other forms, but I shall try to exist.

Life goes on is a redundancy. Life is defined by its going on.
