Given up?

The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of being yourself. 

~ Anna Quindlan

You cry and you scream and you stomp your feet and you shout. And you say, "You know what? I'm giving up, I don't care." And then you go to bed and you wake up, and it's a brand new day, and you pick yourself back up again. 

~ Nicole Scherzinger

Giving up is conceding that things will never get better, and that is just not true. Ups and downs are a constant in life, and I've been belted into that roller coaster a thousand times. 

~ Aimee Mullins

Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent. 

~ Marilyn vos Savant
