Neil Gaiman American Gods
It was a survival thing: he didn't answer back, didn't say anything about job security for prison guards, debate the nature of repentance, rehabilitation, or rates of recidivism. He didn't say anything funny or clever, and, to be on the safe side, when he was talking to a prison official, whenever possible, he didn't say anything at all. Speak when you're spoken to. Do your own time. Get out. Go home. ... Rebuild a life.

"Stay in your boats," Dahra said. "We're still going to need food. Throw your fish onto the dock. I'll get Albert to send someone here to collect it. Then go back out, row up the coast a little ways, and camp out."

"Camp out?" Quinn echoed.

"Yes!"

"You're serious."

"No, it's my idea of a joke, Quinn," Dahra snapped. "Pookie just coughed up a lung and fell over dead. You understand what I'm saying? I mean he coughed his actual lungs out of his mouth."

Ted Tally Newfoundland
Everything is a tool - a boot, a sled, a dog - and a hand, an arm, even a man! If it breaks down you throw it away and you march on! It's brutal, yes! And it's ugly. But anything else is sentiment and it will kill you.

Art is inextricably tied to man's survival - not to his physical survival, but to that on which his physical survival depends: to the preservation and survival of his consciousness.

Ayn Rand

M.B. Dallocchio The Desert...
A moving target is harder to kill, and I didn't stop running, maneuvering, until I reached home base, where I could breathe between death - defying sprints. I just need to make it home alive, and this will all be over, I told myself. Home.

Alyxandra Harvey Blood Moon

Alyxandra Harvey Out for Blood
I'd learned long ago you had to block out the rush of regrets that followed the adrenaline dip after a fight. Otherwise the loop of thoughts could pull you under. Did you just kill someone?

I preferred the adrenaline rush. {Quinn}

David Mitchell The Bone Clocks
My right foot hits the ground first, but my left one's gone AWOL, and I'm cartwheeling, my body mapped by local explosions of pain - - ankle, knee, elbow - - shit, my left ski's gone, whipped off, vamoosed - - ground - woods - sky, ground - woods - sky ground - woods - sky, a faceful of gravelly snow; dice in a tumbler; apples in a tumble dryer, a grunt, a groan, a plea, a shiiiiiiiiit ... { ... }Gravity, velocity, and the ground; stopping is going to cost a fortune and the only acceptable currency is pain.

Ann - Marie MacDonald Fall on Your...
James could do all this because he had made a bargain with himself: he wouldn't try to get killed, nor would he try to survive. He could do all this because he felt terribly sorry for the men he rescued. They harbored the saddest and most foolish desire of all. The desire to go on living.

James S.A. Corey The Butcher of...
Fred launched himself at Dawes, pushing out with numbed legs, and Dawes scuttled back. Fred landed on the deck hard. The world grayed out for a second, and he tasted blood. He struggled forward, trying to get at Dawes's feet with his teeth if that was the best he could manage.
