The quote urges us to recognize that material wealth alone does not make one brave, but rather the ability to face challenges and live life with a certain boldness and fearlessness.

He made a bed of crumpled newspaper in a deep baking pan and gently tucked it in the oven, so that she wouldn't be disturbed by the noise of the small falls outside... When he pulled her out to feed her or just hold her, her body was tattooed with the newsprint...
