“If your courage holds in the small battles, it will hold in the great ones.”

“A small rock holds back a great wave.”

“Holding someone's hand was always my idea of joy. Often before falling asleep - in that small struggle not to lose consciousness and enter the greater world - often, before having the courage to go toward the greatness of sleep, I pretend that someone is holding my hand and I go, go toward the enormous absence of form that is sleep. And when even then I can't find the courage, then I dream.”

“Courage is holding on one minute longer than everyone else. Courage is stepping forward when every fiber of your being says step back. Courage is being willing to do the impossible because it is the right thing to do.”

“You hold the ones you love close and fight the battles you can win, and that, Kitten, is how it is. ”

“Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.”
