Actor Patrick Swayze, who died in September 2009 of pancreatic cancer, wrote a memoir with his wife Lisa Niemi, and said this:
The one thing I realized as Lisa and I retraced the arc of our lives is that no matter what happened, we never, ever gave up—on each other, or on our dreams. I'm far from perfect, and I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. But that's one thing we both got right.
