Quote by David A. Cleinman

The Coward will run away from danger, only to strike in the dark. The Heroine will run through the dark, even though she knows the coward is waiting to strike.

The Coward will run away from danger, only to strike in the

Summary

This quote contrasts the behavior of a coward and a heroine in the face of danger. The coward, driven by fear, will flee from danger and strike back when they have the advantage of darkness or secrecy. On the other hand, the heroine, driven by bravery, will dare to confront the darkness head-on, fully aware that the coward is lurking and ready to attack. This quote highlights the contrasting mindsets and actions of these two archetypes, suggesting that true courage lies in facing adversity directly, even when the outcome is uncertain.

Psychoanalysis cannot be considered a method of education if by education we mean the topiary art of clipping a tree into a beautiful artificial shape. But those who have a higher conception of education will prize most the method of cultivating a tree so that it fulfils to perfection its own natural conditions of growth.

Evidently there are plenty of people in journalism who have neither got what they liked nor quite grown to like what they get. They write pieces they do not much enjoy writing, for papers they totally despise, and the sad process ends by ruining their style and disintegrating their personality, two developments which in a writer cannot be separate, since his personality and style must progress or deteriorate together, like a married couple in a country where death is the only permissible divorce.

Who can map out the various forces at play in one soul? Man is a great depth, O Lord. The hairs of his head are easier by far to count than his feeling, the movements of his heart.
