Excerpt from a Booker Prize winner book.
"It is about the situations which make you either the real winner or the ultimate looser. Situations in which you realize your real potential and exercize it to overcome the odds.Language founders in such seas. Better to picture it in your head if you want to feel it.The finite within the infinite, the infinite within the finite.I discovered at that moment that I have a fierce will to live. It's not something evident, in my experience. Some of us give up on life with only a resigned sigh; others fight a little, then loose hope. Still others-and I am one of those-never give up. We fight and fight and fight. We fight no matter the cost of battle, the losses we take, the improbability of success. We fight to the very end. It's not a question of courage. It's something constitutional, an inability to let go. It may be nothing more than life-hungry stupidity".
