#Fears

"It is in the darkest hour, when we are faced with our deepest most wrenching fears, that we are given the greatest strength. The choice is whether we succumb to the fear or rise with courage to face our truth and shine our brilliance as our sword of valor."

"To know a species, look at its fears. To know yourself, look at your fears. Fear in itself is not important, but fear stands there and points you in the direction of things that are important. Don't be afraid of your fears, they're not there to scare you; they're there to let you know that something is worth it."

"Sex is like an atom bomb. A potent weapon which fascinates and frightens. We're afraid to let it loose, yet we all have our finger on the button.”--Zeena Schreck, Cuir Underground: Sado-Magic for Satan Interview, 1998"

"You are as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fears; as young as your hope, as old as your despair."

"Don't be afraid of your fears. They're not there to scare you. They're there to let you know that something is worth it."

"There is nothing like suspense and anxiety for barricading a human's mind against the Enemy. He wants men to be concerned with what they do; our business is to keep them thinking about what will happen to them."

"Men have two greatest fears: the first fear is the fear of being needed, and the second fear is the fear of not being needed."

"God, I am trying to recover my faith. Please don't abandon me in the middle ofthis adventure, I prayed, pushing my fears aside."

"A lot of pieces I have written have to do with courage. As a result, people think that I am naturally brave. But what people don't know, is that I grew up with phobias and many fears. I was scared of everything. So, I write of courage not because I have not known fear, but I write of courage because I have walked with fear but I have made the choice not to fear it."

"The number of ways to live in one lifetime is limitless. So why limit yourself?"

"When we are able to realize that life is endless and not ephemeral and that life is transformational and not static—then all fears will vanish from our hearts."

"Don't nourish your fears more than you nourish your hopes."

"Would you mind a mind blindfold, a block on your imagination? You couldn’t create a fantasy world to live in, but you could create a life for yourself without irrational fears of the future."
