I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.
Atticus from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
I am considering having “Begin Anyway” tattooed, though I’m not sure where / in what font, etc. This is the context, one of my favourite quotations from one of my favourite books of all time.
