"And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more. I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. I have accepted fear as a part of life — specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown; and I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back, turn back, you'll die if you venture too far."
「問題在於，如果你不冒任何險，你反而冒了更大的險。我並未停止感到恐懼，但我已不再讓恐懼支配我。我接受了恐懼是生命的一部分——尤其是對改變的恐懼、對未知的恐懼；儘管心臟怦怦直跳、不斷對我說：『回頭吧，回頭吧，如果你闖得太遠，會沒命的』，我依然勇往直前。」
