Panic is a horrible thing.

Panic causes tunnel vision. Calm acceptance of danger allows us to more easily assess the situation and see the options.

I tend to stay with the panic. I embrace the panic.

I think I'm prone to panic.

There is no panic you can't allay, no problem you can't solve.

I'm in a complete state of panic before I begin something because I'm sure that it's going to be a complete disaster. I'm going to do a worse job than anybody could ever imagine anybody doing on the planet Earth.

As every scuba diver knows, panic is your worst enemy: when it hits, your mind starts to thrash and you are likely to do something really stupid and self-destructive.

There was no indication of panic. The broken files marched back in steady step. The effort was nobly made and failed from the blows that could not be fended.
