'Kimmy' first and foremost is a show about a woman overcoming the odds. I think that they write the show in a way that you're not beaten over the head with it, but showing and not telling. I think that's really powerful.

Ellie Kemper

I write novels about ordinary women who face seemingly insurmountable odds, but through courage and determination find their heart's desire.

Francis Ray

Sports is a metaphor for overcoming obstacles and achieving against great odds. Athletes, in times of difficulty, can be important role models.

Bill Bradley

I love people who succeed in life overcoming various odds.

Mohammad Amir

The highest point at which human life and art meet is in the ordinary. To look down on the ordinary is to despise what you can't have. Show me a man who fears being ordinary, and I'll show you a man who is not yet a man.

Yukio Mishima

Everest for me, and I believe for the world, is the physical and symbolic manifestation of overcoming odds to achieve a dream

Junko Tabei

Using every means possible to show that, although you're just an ordinary human being, you're far above other mortals.

Paulo Coelho

I think death is a crucial element when designing games around the theme of the satisfaction of overcoming overwhelming odds.

Hidetaka Miyazaki

A truley heroic way of life lies in squarely confronting and courageously overcoming the pounding vicissitudes that life always throws in our paths

Daisaku Ikeda

You have to give kids from ordinary families a ladder. You have to show them there's a way out.

Tony Parsons

I'm a severe graphic novels junkie. People ask me about it, and I say I like the graphic novels. Comic books are for kids, and graphic novels are for adults. But you can't really separate the two.

Dave Pirner

People overcoming the odds is actually a really important part of humanity, and I don't think we kind of get to celebrate that as much as we should.

Taika Waititi

I love 'Yo Gabba Gabba!' because it's a real kids' show. There hasn't been a real kids' show since 'Dora the Explorer.' It mixes hip-hop with being a kid. Hip-hop came from youths anyway. It's just a great, funky show.

Biz Markie

Ever since 'Demon's Souls,' I've really been pursuing making games that give players a sense of accomplishment by overcoming tremendous odds.

Hidetaka Miyazaki

Confronting and overcoming challenges is an exhilarating experience. It does something to feed the soul and the mind. It makes you more than you were before. It strengthens the mental muscles and enables you to become better prepared for the next challenge.

Jim Rohn

I was a crazy Pee-wee Herman fan when I was in my early teens. Before he had the kids' TV show, he had a nightclub show in L.A., and I had gotten a VHS copy of it. It was a kids' show, but onstage in a bar, so it's sort of poking fun at the kids' show. And I was obsessed with that, and then 'Pee-wee's Big Adventure.'
