Fear is our deepest and strongest emotion, and the one which best lends itself to the creation of Nature-defying illusions.
Fear is inevitable, I have to accept that, but I cannot allow it to paralyze me.
Fear is in almost all cases a wretched instrument of government.
Fear is an illusion. You think something is standing in your way, but nothing is really there. What is there is an opportunity to do your best and gain some success.
Fear in your mind produces fear in your life. This is the meaning of hell.
Fear follows crime, and is its punishment.[La crainte suit le crime, et c’est son châtiment.]
Fear cuts deeper than swords.[repeated often in the rest of the book]
Fear arises sooner than any thing else.[La pavra nascie piv tosto che altra cosa.]
Dread of night. Dread of not-night.[Furcht vor der Nacht. Furcht vor der Nicht-Nacht.]
Don’t be ashamed of being scared. To be afraid is a sign of common sense. Only complete idiots are not afraid of anything.
Don’t give in to your fears. If you do, you won’t be able to talk to your heart.[Não se entregue ao desespero. Isto faz com que você não consiga conversar com seu coração.]
Do not be afraid; our fate. Cannot be taken from us; it is a gift.
