Jane AustenThere is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.
About This Quote
When you’re a kid, every new thing that happens to you is a new challenge. You have to figure out a way to deal with it and keep going. Later on, when challenges become more adult things, they can be scary, but not in the way they used to be. So when you’re young, you’re constantly learning how to handle things. Similarly, adults need to learn how to handle things when they are scared or intimidated by others, because that is what will make them strong and healthy people.
