Courage

A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. He has no master except his own soul, and that, I am sure, is why he does it.

Courage is found in unlikely places.

Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.

Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.

I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you are not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

Show me a hero and I will write you a tragedy.

Everyone is insignificant in an environment of fear.

Once you do embark upon the colorful road of writing, don't deviate from it...

Courage is grace under pressure.

It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.

Lock up your libraries if you like, but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

I try all things, I achieve what I can.

To the last, I grapple with thee; From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee.

The difficulty is not so great to die for a friend, as to find a friend worth dying for.

You will always make the right decision, if you listen to your heart.

But even the bravest cannot fight beyond his strength.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.
