Never Never Never Never Never Give Up

That is the often quoted commencement address that Winston Churchill supposedly gave. According to the Churchill Centre the actual quote is a bit different and part of a longer speech:

Never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

Why do I post this? Because sometimes it just feels like the world doesn’t need any more words. There are enough books already. Why write another one? Why write anything at all? Why even finish this blog post?

But then I think about Richard Bach: “A professional writer is an amateur who didn’t quit.”

Never, never, never, never, never give up. Who cares if Winston really said it? Give me a cigar and a bowtie, because I’m going to keep quoting him.
