Laurens Van der Post

"Often I have found that the one thing that can save is the thing which appears most to threaten ... One has to go down into what one most fears and in that process ... Comes a saving flicker of light and energy that even if it does not produce the courage of a hero at any rate enables a trembling mortal to take one step further."
