Courage..

Completed a telugu novel, just few moments back. Had tough time reading it, as I always do when the protagonist is a spineless confused soul, unable to decide about himself and the world around. What prompted me to complete the novel was that the fella, at some point, he started analyzing and understanding what's with him that makes his life hell. And the best of the part of the novel is the ending. Btw, the book is Alpajeevi by RaaVi Sastri, for ppl who are interested.

The afterword by the author had an interesting quote:

"Courage is reckoned the greatest of all virtues; because, unless a man has that virtue, he has no security for preserving any other."
Boswell: Life


I can't agree more! And the book will linger long in my mind, at least because of this quote.
