A man must be prepared to face life, as well as death, there's no escape from either.

No Turning Back: The Life and Death of Animal Species ... deeply informed and crafted with artistry.

You people have a religion of death that fills you with the joy and courage to confront it...I do not. I believe the only essential thing is to be alive.- Abrenucio

Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway

In happiness or unhappiness, living is a duty, and must be done thoroughly.

In the end there is nothing to be done but to state clearly what has been done, without shame or regret, and say: Here I am, and this is what I am. Now deal with me as you see fit. That is your right. Mine is to stand by the act, and pay the price.

You do what you must do, and pay for it. So in the end all things are simple.
