Sometimes heroism is nothing more than patience, curiosity, and a refusal to panic. — © Leif Enger
Sometimes heroism is nothing more than patience, curiosity, and a refusal to panic.
I listen to my political rivals sometimes with fear and trembling, sometimes with awe, sometimes with near panic, but always with a curiosity of nuances, curiosity for the language, curiosity for the story behind the 'impossible' position.
Children, be curious. Nothing is worse (I know it) than when curiosity stops. Nothing is more repressive than the repression of curiosity. Curiosity begets love. It weds us to the world. It's part of our perverse, madcap love for this impossible planet we inhabit. People die when curiosity goes. People have to find out, people have to know.
REFUSAL, n. Denial of something desired; Refusals are graded in a descending scale of finality thus: the refusal absolute, the refusal condition, the refusal tentative and the refusal feminine. The last is called by some casuists the refusal assentive.
I love writing in compressed time periods because the act of survival in the midst of panic and fear, that's where true heroism comes. If you have a uniform, and you're expected to do things, it's a sort of incremental heroism.
There is nothing man desires more than a heroic life: there is nothing less common to men than heroism.
The only situation which might justify panic is one in which panic is likely to help. Such a situation never arises. Though pretended panic may sometimes cause a useful diversion, real panic can never be anything other than a waste of energy.
Refusal to hope is nothing more than a decision to die.
We are the planet, fully as much as water, earth, fire and air are the planet, and if the planet survives, it will only be through heroism. Not occasional heroism, a remarkable instance of it here and there, but constant heroism, systematic heroism, heroism as governing principle.
Curiosity is nothing more than vanity. More often than not we only seek knowledge to show it off.
Faith is the refusal to panic.
Faith is a refusal to panic, come what may.
Nothing is more essential in the treatment of serious disease than the liberation of the patient from panic and foreboding.
A generous and elevated mind is distinguished by nothing more certainly than an eminent degree of curiosity.
Sin is a refusal to grow, a refusal to love, a refusal to get committed, to be concerned, and to take risks.
Panic is efficient. Panic is effective. Panic is the way I get things done! Panic attacks are my booster rockets!
There is nothing to fear except the persistent refusal to find out the truth, the persistent refusal to analyze the causes of happenings.
