“Drowning is not so pitiful as the attempt to rise.”
“That is the challenge Companion. To take what has happened to you and learn from it. Nothing is quite so destructive as pity, especially self-pity. No event in life is so terrible that one cannot rise above it.”
“Time rises and rises, and when it reaches the level of your eyes you drown.”
“my courage always rises with every attempt to intimidate me.”
“To make such an attempt as to hold the rays of the sun in one's palm,Such would be the pair to wisps of moon beams caught on the rising tide of starlight”
“There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.”
