Courage Quotes in The Walking Dead

Rick decides to not wait for backup, and instead to maneuver around a crazy mind with a shotgun in some sort of pincer maneuver. He's either very courageous or incredibly reckless. There's a fine line between the two.

This is one of those "don't go in there!" situations out of a horror movie. If we found a dead body in a hospital, and a boarded-up door, we would not go into the boarded-up room. Again, Rick is either courageous… or stupid. What's the deal with so many horror movies where people notice the bedroom walls oozing blood, or see their daughter in the TV, and don't get out IMMEDIATELY??

This kid Little Duane is pretty brave. If we saw a zombie (or person we thought was a zombie) wandering around, we probably wouldn't be daring enough to sneak up behind it and whack it with a shovel. This kind of behavior probably wasn't typical of Duane in fifth-grade social studies class. Desperate times bring out different things in people. Can you call it courage if it's just instinctual self-preservation, though?

Even if Shane had ulterior motives (who knows if he planned on sleeping with Lori at the time), he was pretty brave to get her out of the city and to safety.

This is the reckless pot calling the kettle crazy. Rick has charged into his share of reckless situations at this point, so we're not sure why he's so concerned about Glenn's actions. We'd say Glenn is pretty brave to be making these supply runs for the good of the group.

Dale takes down a zombie with just an axe. That's pretty brave. He could have left it to Allen to blast the zombie safely with his rifle from a distance.

Lori doesn't want Rick to be brave; she wants him to safe and stay behind. That's the definition of bravery, though. It requires an element of danger.

This is a pretty daring suggestion. Rick and Glenn rub zombie guts on themselves and walk straight into a crowd of the undead. We wouldn't have the guts (haha) to do that. There's so much the group doesn't know about zombies that just about any attempt to confront them is really dangerous.

Lori's seven-year-old son, Carl, steps in and saves his mom by shooting a zombie right in the head. He's a lot braver than people of any age might be in a similar situation. He must have inherited that from his father.

While Lori is busy looking at herself, her son again shows bravery by running off into the woods by himself to make sure his father is okay.
