Stephen King quotes on courage

37. Let's talk, you and I. Let's talk about fear. The house is empty as I write this; a cold February rain is falling outside. It's night.

'What are you talking about?' 'Everything there is,' the gunslinger said calmly. 'We are going to go, Eddie. We are going to fight. We are going to be hurt. And in the end we will stand.'
