To cowards what advice shall I offer? - nothing whatsoever have I to say.

The biggest coward of a man is to awaken the love of a woman without the intention of loving her.

I'd rather die like a man than live like a coward.

I'm already crazy. I'm a fearless person. I think it creeps up on you. I don't think it can be stopped. If my destiny is to lose my mind because of fame, then that's my destiny. But my passion still means more than anything.

To accept injustice or segregation passively is to say to the oppressor that his actions are morally right. It is a way of allowing his conscience to fall asleep. At this moment the oppressed fails to be his brother's keeper. So acquiescence-while often the easier way-is not the moral way. It is the way of the coward.

The cheerful mind perseveres and the strong mind hews its way through a thousand difficulties.
