Heart Racing Quotes:

It was very strange, for I knew we were both in mortal danger. Still, in that instant, I felt well. Whole.

The true meaning of courage is to be afraid, and then, with your knees knocking and your heart racing, to step out anyway—even when that step makes sense to nobody but you. I know that’s not easy.
