“I'd rather stay asleep than have to learn all those frightening secrets.”
“Sometimes I think I'd rather be frightened than bored. At least when you're frightened you know you're alive.”
“But I'd rather help than watch. I'd rather have a heart than a mind. I'd rather expose too much than too little. I'd rather say hello to strangers than be afraid of them. I would rather know all this about myself than have more money than I need. I'd rather have something to love than a way to impress you.”
“I'd rather be thought of as smart, capable, strong, and compassionate than beautiful. Those things all persist long after beauty fades.”
“In those days I learned that nothing is more frightening than a hero who lives to tell his story, to tell what all those who fell at his side will never be able to tell.”
“I'd rather be a little weird than all boring.”
