“What man I dare, I dare. Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, the armed rhinoceros, or th' Hyrcan tiger; Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves shall never tremble.”
“My life has been long, and believing that life loves the liver of it, I have dared to try many things, sometimes trembling, but daring, still.”
“Devil, do you dare approach me? and do you not fear the fierce vengeance of my arm wreaked on your miserable head?”
“Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?”
“If suddenly you do not exist,If suddenly you are not living,I shall go on living.I do not dare,I do not dare to write it,if you die.I shall go on living.”
“My words are the garment of what I shall never be Like the tucked sleeve of a one-armed boy.”
