Aurora Levins Morales “There is a place for righteous rage at the torturers and a place to demand accountability and hard work. But punishment is not a tool of liberation. It is the powerless exercise of violence by those who can think of nothing better. It is the refusal to acknowledge our kinship
..with those who hurt us. It is a laying down of our vision, and ultimately, if we cannot overcome the urge to punish, our vision, which is what truly distinguishes us from those we oppose, will die.”
from 'Medicine Stories'

I'm getting so frustrated looking for a quote. Please help.
It goes something like this "to cry is not to admit defeat, to X Is not to mourn" and then a third line. It's maybe from a movie or a TV show, but not even gemini chat gpt or Google searches can find this freaking thing for me.
Im sure I misremember what it's actually about but I know it's three lines with something like
"To X is not to Y" three times over, in the theme of defeat and regrouping or retreating.
Please help. I know it's not a lot to go on.

romantic couples as teams
Hi! Can anyone provide me with quotes/snippets from books, or other media (tv shows/movies/song lyrics) where a partner refers to their couple/partner as a team or their teammate?
I'm looking for media examples to be used in a presentation. Something like "we're a team" or "we make a good team"
thank you!
