- "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)
