Courage Quotes in Revenge of the Witch (The Last Apprentice)

How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #7

"We need courage and patience, but above all, we never rush." (10.100)

As we see here, courage doesn't necessarily mean rushing into a situation without thinking. That's foolishness, not courage.

Quote #8

I seized the candlestick and swung its heavy base into the mirror. (12.145)

Candlesticks are usually more associated with the game Clue than with courage. But in this case, Tom is smashing the mirror to get rid of Mother Malkin. And that takes great courage. Why? We can only imagine what his dad will say when he finds out.

Quote #9

I just had to get outside and away from the witch. Nothing else mattered. All my courage had gone. (12.202)

Courage isn't a permanent trait. It comes and goes, like a thunderstorm, or good James Bond movies.
