QUOTE : Here's the thing. Everyone thinks that someone is brave if they run into a fire or stop a robbery or save someone. Sure, that's brave. But it doesn't take much thought, it just takes action. There's no time for thinking, you act on instinct pure action. Just like falling in love. The first time, you just do it. You dive in head first and fall. There isn't any thought about a crash or about you being broken. So, here's what it means to have courage. After you run into a fire, and it melts your skin and burns your lungs, and someone dies, and you see the horror and feel the pain...after that, you find that you have to go back in again. But this time you know the pain and you know the horror...going back in the second time, that's courage.
