"What is "courage"? "Courage" is knowing fear and making that fear your own!"

― Will A. Zeppeli (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part I: Phantom Blood)

"Courage isn't the absence of fear, but the presence of fear and the will to keep on going."

― Jamal Walker (Black Knight)

"There’s no way a man who intends to join the crew of the future Pirate King will cower before a mere Yonkō!"

― Jinbei to Charlotte Linlin/Big Mom (One Piece)

"Why should we be afraid of the weak words of some old hag who's outlived her welcome?"

― Eustass Kid to Charlotte Linlin/Big Mom (One Piece)

"I've been running and running to get away from those hideous people for 2 years. Compared to them, this monster is nothing. It looks rather cute to me."

― Sanji (One Piece) on the Kraken.

"Fear is never born from nothing. It is born from the tiny insecurities that linger within our hearts. Do you still feel afraid? Rukia."
"...No!"

― Byakuya Kuchiki and Rukia Kuchiki (Bleach)

"How are you doing this? You've ingested enough toxins to drive ten men insane! What are you?!"

― Scarecrow to Batman (Arkham Series)

"Fear is the enemy of will. Will is what makes you take action; fear is what stops you, and makes you weak. You must ignore your fear. When you're afraid, you can't act - you can't act, you can't defend - you can't defend, you die!"

― Thaal Sinestro (Green Lantern)
