Fate can slam him and bang him around, <br /> And batter his frame till he&#039;s sore, <br /> But she can never say he&#039;s downed <br /> While he bobs up serenely for more. <br /> A fellow&#039;s not dead till he dies, <br /> Nor beat till he no longer tries.

&ldquo;Whatever you are physically...male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside.&rdquo; <br /> ― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel
