“It's not about having an absence of fear, it's about having dominance over it.”

“Fearlessness is not the absence of fear. It's the mastery of fear. It's about getting up one more time than we fall down.”

“Courage, my child, is not the absence of fear. It's the triumph over fear.”

“Because, unfamiliar with the absence of fear and what that was like, I have not been able to identify its presence.”

“It's not about something i have felt, It's about my life;it's not about something that i have not, Its' about something inside me;It's not about that i am gonna cry It's about something that i have no tears left;It's not about something that i love you, It's about you don't..”

“Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, or making friends. It's about doing what you love the best you know how. It's about making a heart pound in fear, shrink from rage, weep with understanding, or soar with excitement. It's about making worlds and living in them deeply enough someone else can join you there. It's about life changed to words, words changed to life, over and over and over again. It's about giving.”
