Famous Quotes & Sayings

Charles Dickens

How could you give me life, and take from me all the inappreciable things that raise it from the state of conscious death? Where are the graces of my soul? Where are the sentiments of my heart?

You can step on fear, and therefore, you can attain what is known as fearlessness. But that requires that, when you see fear, you smile.
