I nodded, pretending to be a hundred times more courageous than I felt. But that was the thing about courage. Sometimes you had to fake it to feel it.

About This Quote

The quote is meant to describe the true essence of bravery. Bravery is nothing more than courage with a dash of fear. It is not being brave that makes you courageous, it is merely having the balls to face your fears. Bravery means one is willing to risk not just their own safety, but also that of others. To be courageous, one must have the ability to stand up for themselves and fight for what they believe in.
