There is perhaps nothing so bad and so dangerous in life as fear.

In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it.

I live my life through fear. If I'm afraid of it I'll do it just so I'm not afraid of it anymore.

While there's life, there's fear.

I think I have a big fear of things spiraling out of control. Out of control and dangerous and reckless and thoughtless scares me, because people get hurt.

We are living in a world of fear. The life of man today is corroded and made bitter by fear: fear of the future, fear of the hydrogen bomb, fear of ideologies. Perhaps this fear is a greater danger than the danger itself because it is fear, which drives men to act thoughtlessly, to act dangerously.

Because we are afraid of life, we seek to control or master it.

When fear makes your choices for you, no security measures on earth will keep the things you dread from finding you. But if you can avoid avoidance - if you can choose to embrace experiences out of passion, enthusiasm, and a readiness to feel whatever arises - then nothing, nothing in all this dangerous world, can keep you from being safe.

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

When we are afraid we ought not to occupy ourselves with endeavoring to prove that there is no danger, but in strengthening ourselves to go on in spite of the danger.
