Who said “We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.”?

“A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”

“Those who are prepared to die for any cause are seldom defeated.”

“Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.”

“The problems of victory are more agreeable than those of defeat, but they are no less difficult.”

“I give the fight up: let there be an end, a privacy, an obscure nook for me. I want to be forgotten even by God.”

“Life loves the liver of it.”

“Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.”

“At fifteen life had taught me undeniably that surrender, in its place, was as honorable as resistance, especially if one had no choice.”

“A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true. A simple morning's greeting and response appear loaded with innuendo and fraught with implications. Each nicety becomes more sterile and each withdrawal more permanent.”

“I believe that every person is born with talent.”

“The need for change bulldozed road down the center of my mind.”
