#courage

Si nous ne nous conduisons pas tout à fait bien, c’est parce qu’il nous reste, à tous, une vague petite notion de devoir au fond de notre désordre qui fait que nous n’avons pas le courage de nous conduire tout à fait mal. ↗

...истинное мужество... не в слепом сопротивлении, а в чётком анализе обстоятельств и в умении где-то спорить с ними, а где-то в силу необходимости подчиниться ("чтобы потом эти же обстоятельства подчинить себе...") (Кантор - Ёжики-Матвею Радомиру) ↗

#courage

He who kills from afar knows nothing at all about act of killing. He who kills from afar derives no lesson from life or from death; he neither risks nor stains his hands with blood, nor hears the breathing of his adversary, nor reads the fear, courage, or indifference in his eyes. He who kills from afar tests neither his arm, his heart, nor his conscience, nor does he create ghosts that will later haunt him every single night for the rest of his life. He who kills from afar is a knave who commends to others the dirty and terrible task that is his own. ↗

— Arturo Pérez-Reverte

#courage

The one who kills runs the risk of destroying the entire world just building up the courage to meet death eye-to-eye. ↗

#guilt-quote #pain #courage

.. is there not one true coin for which all things ought to exchange?- and that is wisdom; and only in exchange for this, and in company with this, is anything truly bought or sold, whether courage, temperance or justice. And is not all true virtue the companion of wisdom, no matter what fears or pleasures or other similar goods or evils may or may not attend her? But the virtue which is made up of these goods, when they are severed from wisdom and exchanged with one another, is a shadow of virtue only, nor is there any freedom or health or truth in her; but in the true exchange there is a purging away of all these things, and temperance, and justice, and courage, and wisdom herself, are a purgation of them. ↗
