“Courage - a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it.”
“Do you know what courage is? Not a willingness to fling oneself into danger without proper thought – that is nothing, nothing. There is cowardice in all impulse. Real courage lies in thinking things through, seeing all the risks, and taking them anyway. Lady Tamarind has courage.”
“Perfection is the willingness to be imperfect.”
“Talent is extremely common. What is rare is the willingness to endure the life of the writer.”
“But you see, the measure of hell you're able to endure is the measure of your love.”
“Courage is often associated with aggression, but instead should be seen as a willingness to act from the heart.”
