    Never give in;

    Never give in, no matter how high the mountain.
    Never give in, no matter how long the road.
    Never give in, no matter how hard the task.
    Never give in, despite what others say.
    Never give in, in something you love or believe in.

    Never, ever give in.

    - Myself.

    Although I'm sure there's similar stuff on the net. I just felt the best quote/poem would be from my own heart.

    I throw a rubber ball against the window; that means you come to me. As my frustration level grows, so does the velocity of the ball against the window.

    "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
    - Marilyn Monroe
    - okay i've recieved a lot of neg for this so i wanted to justify that although yes it is over used it's genuinly a quote i like because im not perfect and i don't think anyones is. It reminds me that you've got to see people through their faults to grace them at their greatest.
