Quoting from A Trail of Memories: The Quotations Of Louis L’Amour
…Do not be afraid. A little fear can make one cautious. Too much fear can rob you of initiative. Respect fear, but use it for an incentive, do not let it bind you or tie you down. – The Lonesone Gods by Louis L’Amour
Quoting from Preparing for a Trip and A Day In the Life
In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury discusses the importance of reading, explaining what sets books apart from more passive forms of expression.
A book, he says, can be put down. In between the pages of the book, the reader can pause to insert his or her own thoughts and ideas, or grapple with those posed by the author. Walking is much the same, allowing for pause and consideration of the landscape, rather than inscrutably rapid motion over it.
Tisn’t life that matters! ‘Tis the courage you bring to it
- From Fortitude by Hugh Walpole, a chapter of which appears in Ruskin Bond’s My Book of Favourite Books.
