I was giving up. I would have given up - if a voice hadn't made itself heard in my heart. The voice said I will not die. I refuse it. I will make it through this nightmare. I will beat the odds, as great as they are. I have survived so far, miraculously. Now I will turn miracle into routine. The amazing will be seen everyday. I will put in all the hard work necessary. Yes, so long as God is with me, I will not die. Amen. ✨ Yann Martel, Canongate Books (2007). Life of Pi (Illustrated): Deluxe Illustrated Edition, p.158, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
