"is there cowardice in the acknowledgement of fear? Is there cowardice in being glad that you lived?"
Blindfold and Alone by Corns and Hughes-Wilson
p. 48
"Fear,
panic, terror- all go into the equation of 'cowardice'. It is perhaps
the outcome that is the true arbiter of cowardice, such as refusing
to obey the order to attack, or running away in fear. Cowardice is in
fact the individual's reaction to his (very natural) fear, not the fear
itself, despite its only too obvious manifestation. Fear is not
cowardice."
