Quotes from the same author

And his eyes frighten me, too. They're the eyes of an old man, an old man who's seen so much in life that he no longer cares to go on living. They're not even desperate... just quiet and expectant, and very, very lonely, as if he were quite alone of his own free choice.
 Anne Holm
Being brave meant that though you might be frightened, you would face the greatest danger if you knew it was the right thing to do.
