Quote by Ozzy Osbourne

"Survival is my legacy … I mean, I'm 73. People go, "Well, you're 70… why don't I throw the towel in?" … Why should I? People still want to buy my records. People still want to see me, so why should I? It motivates me to get off my backside and do something. I mean, if my career had gone down the toilet and I knew it was the end, I'd be pretty miserable. … Never give up. If you've got a passion for something, you've got to find a way around it to carry on the passion."

— Ozzy Osbourne
