Geraldine Brooks Quote

Será que existem duas palavras mais intimamente relacionadas que coragem e covardia? Penso que não existe um homem que não queira possuir a primeira, mas tema ser acusado da segunda. Enquanto uma é considerada o apogeu do caráter de um indivíduo, a outra pode ser vista como o seu nadir. E, no entanto, a meu ver, as duas ocupam posições paralelas no círculo da vida, afastadas uma da outra pelo mero grau de um arco.
