“Killing yourself is a major commitment, it takes a kind of courage. Mo...” — Robert Crumb Quote

Killing yourself is a major commitment, it takes a kind of courage. Most people just lead lives of cowardly desperation. It's kinda half suicide where you just dull yourself with substances.

I'm just a negative person, a deeply negative person. I see the worst aspects of everything.

When I go back to America, after a few days I am once again filled with this kind of angry alienation and disgust with this thing there that America has got - you have no idea how pervasive it is there. The public relations and propaganda put out by the corporate mono-culture there is so pervasive.

When I was younger, I just lived my life on paper. I didn't really live in the real world very much. As a consequence, I couldn't cope with the real world and real people very well. That in itself became life threatening, so I had to stop drawing so much and learn how to cope with people.

My mother taught me that we all have the power to achieve our dreams. What I lacked was the courage.

I find fault with my children because I like them and I want them to go places - uprightness and strength and courage and civil respect and anything that affects the probabilities of failure on the part of those that are closest to me, that concerns me - I find fault.

So the brother in black offers to these United States the source of courage that endures, and laughter.

If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.

To me, there is no greater act of courage than being the one who kisses first.
