About This Quote

Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to act in spite of fear! This quote from Stephen King gives a great insight into courage. The power to overcome fear and fight against it is what makes a hero. In George Orwell's essay "Politics and the English Language," he wrote that "Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." Another example is Abraham Lincoln, who was often quoted as saying, "And I have always said there was a time when I would like to be a great poet or a great novelist, but now I can't see how I would do it." He was simply stating what he thinks about the literary arts.
