"It takes a lot of courage to face up to things you can’t do because we feed ourselves so much denial." ― Zoe Saldana Topic(s): Courage More From Zoe Saldana "I’m very accepting with my age. It’s like notches on your belt: experience, wisdom, and a different kind of beauty. There comes a day when you’ve become comfortable in your skin." "I’m so intrigued by women throughout history where the significance of what they were representing at that time is obscured by the fact a man saved them or they were prostitutes." "Being a former dancer, classical dancer, it informed me as a human being just in terms of the grace I guess. Ballet is a very graceful form of art. You also become very aware of your body and your mind and your body is working in conjunction. That kind of helps you in acting as well. It’s not only using your mind, it’s like making your mind communicate this character into your body so that you can bring it to life and physicalize it." More In Courage "Presumption should never make us neglect that which appears easy to us, nor despair make us lose courage at the sight of difficulties."― Benjamin Banneker "The criteria for serving one’s country should be competence, courage and willingness to serve. When we deny people the chance to serve because of their sexual orientation, we deprive them of their rights of citizenship, and we deprive our armed forces the service of willing and capable Americans."― Dianne Feinstein "Courage: Great Russian word, fit for the songs of our children’s children, pure on their tongues, and free."― Anna Akhmatova
