About This Quote

Courage and grace is a formidable mixture. The only place to see it is the bullring. This quote, attributed to Charles Bukowski, says that courage and grace are not always easy to put together but when they do, they can create something truly magnificent. It also shows that great heroes are not always people who are flawless in every way, but rather people willing to do what needs to be done when it needs to be done.
