It's not courage so much as stubbornness, " Alice said frankly. Her lips curled back from her teeth in a grim smile. "I don't like to lose.

About This Quote

Stubbornness is a part of every hero. Heroes are stubborn, and so are cowards. For example, if you have courage, you will overcome fear. If you have courage, you will overcome anger.

I think that it is not courage but stubbornness that reminds people about courage. Courage is the ability to overcome fear by believing in yourself or your ideas. It’s not that you are brave but that you are stubborn enough to do something about fear even when others are afraid of the same thing.
