“Endure or be forgotten” is a line from Ernest Hemingway‘s Nobel Prize speech. In this song, I used a sample taken from the recording of this Nobel Prize speech, which was actually not delivered by Hemingway himself, but by John C. Cabot, the then US Ambassador to Sweden. Hemingway was unable to attend because he was recovering from injuries sustained in two consecutive plane crashes (the plane that collected him from the first plane crash also crashed). You can read the full transcript of the Nobel Prize speech here.
