“Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity . . . and the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world.”
“If you have the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.”
“You love with a fierce courage that I do not understand, and yet I wish that I could have it too.”
“If you don't have the courage to walk alone others will not have the courage to walk with you.”
“You risked your life, but what else have you ever risked? Have you risked disapproval? Have you ever risked economic security? Have you ever risked a belief? I see nothing particularly courageous about risking one's life. So you lose it, you go to your hero's heaven and everything is milk and honey 'til the end of time. Right? You get your reward and suffer no earthly consequences. That's not courage. Real courage is risking something that might force you to rethink your thoughts and suffer change and stretch consciousness. Real courage is risking one's clichés.”
