In the book of The Giver, Jonas had to receive some memories of courage from the giver. But he does not get enough courage before his big journey to escape. He runs out of memories that have courage so he doesn't know what to do. But he goes on fighting for his and Gabriels life. Seeking deep inside him for that last bit of courage with in him.

In the good words of Martin Luther King, Jr. "If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose the courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream. The Trumne at Conscience.
