I'll be writing as long as I can hold a pen in my curled, crimped arthritic hands and then I'll dictate it, if it comes to that. They'll have to pry my pen out of my cold, dead fingers - and even then, I'll fight 'em for it. Guaranteed.

I'll be writing as long as I can hold a pen in my curled, crimped arthritic hands and then I'll dictate it, if it comes to that.  They'll have to pry my pen out of my cold, dead fingers - and even then, I'll fight 'em for it.  Guaranteed.  I will not give up until my ideas are written down. No one can take away the words that are in my head. This quote is very inspiring because it shows the power of determination in someone who has lived through great pain and who still has the drive to get his ideas out there for all to see.
