“To me, having the courage to tell your own story goes hand in hand wit...” — Sarah Kay Quote

To me, having the courage to tell your own story goes hand in hand with having the curiosity and humility to listen to others' stories.

I have always been more comfortable with daredevil acts than with the everyday nuances of life. Let me jump out of a plane, speak in front of a roomful of strangers, even trek across Siberia.

I have seen the best of you, and the worst of you, and I choose both.

When I hear other people's stories, I like to believe that they contribute to my 'Encyclopedia of Human Experience.' The stories I hear help me expand my definition of what love is, what pain feels like, what sacrifice means, what laughter can do.

What if everything I thought was wrong with me was actually right with me? You have to have the courage to show who you are to the world.

Such decisions will be far reaching and difficult. But you never lacked courage in the past. Your courage is now needed for the future.

Courage is grace under pressure.

There are looks that I see on other people that I think would look horrible on me, but I think if somebody has the courage to be really daring and try something outlandish, then more power to them. That's just encouraging and inspiring.

We need men with moral courage to speak and write their real thoughts, and to stand by their convictions, even to the very death.
