Any TRUE Italian speakers out here? Need translation!

[bassingeorge]

Hello!
I have an idea for a tattoo. This would be my first. I'm no teenager, I'm not doing this just to look hip. This has meaning...But I need an Italian translation to this frase...

"I will not be broken"

I've used the google translator, but I don't fully trust it.

Help guys! Thanks!

I don't speak Italian, however...

Do you need to use those exact words or do you just wish to express that sentiment?

I will not be broken

Alternately:
I will not be defeated
I will not yield
I will not surrender
etc.

The reason I'm asking is that some combinations of words flow in a more poetic manner than others.

Then there's syntax:
I will not be broken

Or:
Broken I will not be
Broken I will never be

Archaic:
Broken I'll ne're be

Also, when it comes to tattoos the number of letters involved, along with how they can be rendered artistically both individually and as a group, may make the difference between a nice tattoo and a great one.

Wow, I didn't think of it THAT way...
Thanks!

The meaning will be something along the lines of "I will not be defeated"

The italian language is whats gonna give 90% of the meaning to the ink....So it's really important for me to get it right.

If it has a meaning, surely you should know it in Italian

Succhiare il mio cazzo

Alrighty then. Perhaps a quote along these lines as was once uttered by a famous figure in Italian history may be worth considering. Who are the ones whom you admire the most?

I'm not familiar with the History of Italy but in her timeline there's bound to be quotes by military commanders who defied what lessor men would regard as being hopeless odds or renaissance visionaries who held fast to observable truths against accusations of heresy hurled by the unimaginative or men of faith who remained devout in the face threats from history's seemingly endless assortment of boners wearing funny hats.

What exactly does this mean? I will not be broken? Or I will not break?

[ricca]

Sorry
non mi spezzero'= I will not break

non mi spezzerete= You will not break me

non saro' spezzato=I will not be broken (but is a letteral translation, not used in real speaking)

I think the second one is better

[bassingeorge]

So, second one?

Ok, been playing with the translator....does "Non sarò sconfitto" make sense?

If I will not be broken will not work, I could slightly change the words and have the same sentiment....

[ricca]

non sarò sconfitto= I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED
