Breath Quote by T.J. Kirk

“I cannot be stopped unless I am dead. Nothing else can stop me. As long as no one has the balls to kill me, I will prevail. Each breath I draw, even if it's followed by a smoker's cough, is a victory. This world will beat me one day, but not today. Not until the day I die.” quote by T.J. Kirk
