Understanding this quote
The quote treats falling as something that can teach us, not as a final defeat. Its repeated “never, ever” stresses firm persistence: even after failure or loss, the speaker says, the effort continues. The unnamed “it” could refer to any experience that makes someone fall, so the exact source of the lesson is left open.
