But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth.

No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war… Our great depression is our lives.

And we’re very, very pissed off.” – ‘Fight Club’
