Brave

Famous quotes containing the word brave:

“Commonly men will only be brave as their fathers were brave, or timid.”

“There aren’t any good, brave causes left. If the big bang does come, and we all get killed off, it won’t be in aid of the old-fashioned grand design. It’ll just be for the Brave New-nothing-very-much-thank-you. About as pointless and inglorious as stepping in front of a bus. No, there’s nothing left for it, me boy, but to let yourself be butchered by the women.”
—John Osborne (1929–1994)

“you come, a brave ghost, to fix
in my mind without praise
or paradise
to make me your inheritor.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
