The tattoo is on my hip.

It is the Golden Apple from the Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson & Robert Shea and/or the Principia Discordia by Malaclypse the Younger.

Real Courage

7 comments - Post a comment

Submitted by SpiffySilpion:

“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.  You rarely win, but sometimes you do.”

- To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
