"When you are born, your courage is new and clean. You are brave enough for anything: crawling off of staircases, saying your first words without fearing that someone will think you are foolish, putting strange things in your mouth. But as you get older, your courage attracts gunky and crusty things and dirt and fear and knowing how bad things can get and what pain feels like.

So, every once in awhile, you have to scrub it up and get the works going or you will never be brave again." -Catherynne M. Valente (The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making)
