Tenacity is never giving up on yourself or your dreams, it is telling people to shove it up their arse when they're trying to deter or disuade you from what you really want or need. It is also standing firm when you really believe in something. Frankly, it is being a dog with a bone. It is the dogs with bones that change the world. And we should all aspire to that.


~T. Coffey

"There is no room in my body for anything but you. My arms love you, my ears adore you, my knees shake with blind affection. My mind begs you to ask it something so it can obey. Do you want me to follow you for the rest of your days? I will do that. Do you want me to crawl? I will crawl. I will be quiet for you or sing for you, or if you are hungry, let me bring you food, or if you have thirst and nothing will quench it but Arabian wine, I will go to Araby, even though it is across the world, and bring a bottle back for your lunch. Anything there is that I can do for you, I will do for you; anything there is that I cannot do, I will learn to do." -William Goldman, The Princess Bride
