Quote

Fear and euphoria are dominant forces, and fear is many multiples the size of euphoria. Bubbles go up very slowly as euphoria builds. Then fear hits, and it comes down very sharply. When I started to look at that, I was sort of intellectually shocked. Contagion is the critical phenomenon which causes the thing to fall apart.

Fear is one of those really primal emotions which you don't want to have incredibly exciting modulations and complex harmonies and all that kind of stuff.

Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.

Our thinking and our behaviour are always in anticipation of a response. It is therefore fear-based.

Fear is one of the worst, and most limiting, emotions in life.

What I think we fear is rapid, pronounced, and uncontrollable changes to ourselves, and because of this we have a form of personality inertia - something that resists rapid change.

I feel like fear is a very real thing, a very ubiquitous thing, and it can be very subtle.

I wouldn't say I have a lack of fear. In fact, I'd like my fear emotion to be less because it's very distracting and fries my nervous system.

There is a fascination with fear. It grabs our attention.

I really believed that fear is contagious.
