Step aside? I step aside for nobeast, whether it be a hallowed hedgehog, an officious otter, a seasoned squirrel, a mutterin' mole or a befuddled badger!

The quote expresses a strong sense of self-confidence and refusal to yield to anyone or anything, regardless of their stature or reputation. The speaker’s refusal to "step aside" emphasizes their determination and unwavering resolve against various characters, each representing a different type of obstacle or challenge. This refrain illustrates a bold personality that stands firm in their beliefs and position.

In the context of the book "Tagging" by Brian Jacques, this attitude could symbolize a greater theme of resilience and defiance in the face of adversity. The mention of diverse animals highlights the whimsical aspects of the story, suggesting that regardless of the challenges presented by these characters, the speaker is resolute and will not let anything hinder their path.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
