"The courage of the poet is to keep ajar the door that leads into madness." ― Christopher Morley Topic(s): Courage More From Christopher Morley "A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure in life." "In every man’s heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty." "All cities are mad: but the madness is gallant. All cities are beautiful: but the beauty is grim." More In Courage "People think I have courage. The courage in my family are my wife Pam, my three daughters, here, Nicole, Jamie, LeeAnn, my mom, who’s right here too."― Jim Valvano "It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare."― Mark Twain "It may not be the most popular but there is a place for it. I think about the kind of music I love, acoustic, melodic, and I guess it kind of took a bit of courage on my part to think I could be one of those songwriters."― Helen Slater
