“It takes great courage when you are suffering to see beyond your suffering to the clear relations between things, to the laws that cause and govern your suffering; it takes great courage to be ruthless with one's griefs.”
“It takes great courage to open one's heart and mind to the tremendous injustice and suffering in our world.”
“It takes courage to live through suffering; and it takes honesty to observe it.”
“It takes great courage to write great books. Find your courage and find your voice.”
“Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity . . . and the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world.”
“It takes great courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still to love it. And even more courage to see it in the one you love”
