Another month, another rationality quotes thread. The rules are:

Do not quote yourself.
Do not quote from Less Wrong itself, HPMoR, Eliezer Yudkowsky, or Robin Hanson. If you'd like to revive an old quote from one of those sources, please do so here.
No more than 5 quotes per person per monthly thread, please.
Provide sufficient information (URL, title, date, page number, etc.) to enable a reader to find the place where you read the quote, or its original source if available. Do not quote with only a name.

"Courage...is to tell the story of who you are with your whole heart"

-A facebook friend has that on his profile

Reminds me of:

Repress nothing - Otto Gross

Suppose you are by nature lazy and selfish and cautious, and you see someone drowning in a lake. Is it more courageous to leap in and try to save them (despite the risk and the cost to yourself and the danger), or to sit idly by and watch them drown (giving priority to living out your own nature more authentically)?
