I'm a survivor - a living example of what people can go through and survive.

I'm a survivalist and a survivor.

I have always said about myself I am a survivor because I am.

I feel like I have a Ph.D. in life, I'm a survivor. I've not only survived, I've thrived.

Being a survivor doesn't mean being strong - it's telling people when you need a meal or a ride, company, whatever. It's paying attention to heart wisdom, feelings, not living a role, but having a unique, authentic life, having something to contribute, finding time to love and laugh. All these things are qualities of survivors.

I'm a survivor of life. I try to give the glory to God and appreciate what's happening to me.

First of all, anybody who has lasted 30 and went through the 60's is really a survivor.

I think I'm a survivor. I could have suffered at least 100 professional deaths. I could come up with a list of the 100 times I've come closest to death, from having pneumonia as a child to car crashes.

The word survivor suggests someone who has emerged alive from a plane crash or a natural disaster. But the word can also refer to the loved ones of murder victims, and this was the sense in which it was used at a four-day conference in early June at Boston College.
