Here are the quotes he's found that discuss intimidation in its various forms.

"The bullying stopped when I claimed myself and proved that I wasn't afraid." Randy Harrison

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." Eleanor Roosevelt

"People who fight fire with fire usually end up with ashes." Abigail Van Buren

"Eagerness to please attracts bullies and bores." Mason Cooley

"Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke." Benjamin Disraeli

"Everyone who wants to do good to the human race always ends in universal bullying." Alduous Huxley

"True courage is cool and calm. The bravest of men have the least of a soothing, bullying insolence, and in the very time of danger are found the most serene and free." Lord Shaflesbury
