I was going into shock. The pain wasn’t getting any better, and I thought that I would probably black out before I found out how this was going to end. Just as well– I was never particularly good at finishing things.

About This Quote

We all have days when we feel like we are going to pass out from the pain of it all. The moment when you realize you can’t continue on with another day because your body is in such pain is the moment you should quit. What good will it do if you can’t finish what you start? If you make it through that moment and continue, then perhaps your shock will fade along with the pain and you might be able to finish the things that you started.
