Fearful Quotes (page 125)

A man's ethical behaviour should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. Albert Einstein
For the first time in my life I tasted death, and death tasted bitter, for death is birth, is fear and dread of some terrible renewal. Herman Hesse
The self may be royal, but it hungers like a pauper. [...] And it is a king imperilled, a sovereign forever at the mercy of many insurgents, of fear, for example, and anxiety, of isolation and bewilderment, of a strange unspeakable pride and a wild, silent shame. The self is beset by secrets, secrets eat at it constantly, secrets will tear down its kingdom and leave its sceptre broken in the dust. Salman Rushdie
My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel? it is, before all, to make you see. That? and no more, and it is everything. If I succeed, you shall find there according to your deserts: encouragement, consolation, fear, charm? all you demand; and, perhaps, also that glimpse of truth for which you have forgotten to ask. Joseph Conrad
What is literature but the expression of moods by the vehicle of symbol and incident? And are there not moods which need heaven, hell, purgatory, and faeryland for their expression, no less than this dilapidated earth? Nay, are there not moods which shall find no expression unless there be men who dare to mix heaven, hell, purgatory, and faeryland together, or even to set the heads of beasts to the bodies of men, or to thrust the souls of men into the heart of rocks? Let us go forth, the... William Butler Yeats
James A. Michener quote: "If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the relgion..."
If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the relgion and avoid the people, you might better stay home. James A. Michener
How happy is the little stoneThat rambles in the road alone,And doesn't care about careers,And exigencies never fears;Whose coat of elemental brownA passing universe put on;And independent as the sun,Associates or glows alone,Fulfilling absolute decreeIn casual simplicity. Emily Dickinson
Kathy Griffin quote: "My fear of camping: I’m convinced bugs will crawl up my vagina..."
My fear of camping: I’m convinced bugs will crawl up my vagina and lay eggs. Isn’t everyone? Kathy Griffin
Antonio Machado quote: "Death is something we shouldn't fear because, while we are,..."
Death is something we shouldn't fear because, while we are, death isn't, and when death is, we aren't. Antonio Machado
Dreams are composed of many things, my son. Of images and hopes, of fears and memories. Memories of the past, and memories of the future... Neil Gaiman
But it was not the boyish grin she had known when he bounded along the low-gravity inner corridors of Battle School. This smile had weariness in it, and old fears long mastered but still present. It was the smile of wisdom. Orson Scott Card
I fear that in this thing many rich people deceive themselves. They go on accumulating the means but never using them; making bricks, but never building. George Eliot
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "Most hatred is based on fear, one way or another."
Most hatred is based on fear, one way or another. Laurell K. Hamilton
Harper Lee quote: "I never loved reading until I feared I would lose it. One does..."
I never loved reading until I feared I would lose it. One does not love breathing. Harper Lee
The life we led was a proof of man's capacity for adaptation. I think that even the condemned souls in purgatory after time develop a sort of homely routine. That is , by the way, why most prison memoirs are unreadable. The difficulty of conveying to the reader an idea of a nightmare world from which he has emerged makes the author depict the prisoner's state of mind as an uninterruped continuity of despair. He fears to appear frivolous or to spoil his effect by admitting that even in the... Arthur Koestler
