"If you're going through hell, keep going"

Don't worry, I'm not going through hell as the title suggests. In fact, I'm getting pampered every hour of every day by the best nurses in the world. Compared to going home with those amateurs I call parents, this place is heaven.  

Today's title is in fact a quiz.  Who said this quote first? 

Don't know?  Does this picture give you a hint?

If that was too subtle,  how about this one:

Leader of a decaying world empire,  here I come!

BTW,  the reason I got to take my picture is because the guards caught me while I was making my escape.  They removed the old-man tubes last night,  and then I pulled out the gavage tube all by myself this morning.  I was half way to the door when they caught me and snapped this pic.  Next time,  FREEDOM!
