Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Because you are stronger now, after all the crap has happened, than you ever were back before it started.” What makes you brave is your willingness to live through your terrible life and hold your head up high the next day.
