Six Word Story

Posted by sammicakes on

There is no bravery without fear.

~ Sammicakes

“It wasn’t brave because he wasn’t scared: it was the only thing he could do. But going back again […] when he was really scared. That was brave. […] When you’re scared but you still do it anyway, that’s brave.”

— Neil Gaiman, Coraline

      Perhaps, but I see them as interwoven. You can’t be brave against something if it’s not frightening enough to be brave against.
