Sometimes we have to travel to the last step a path that was not of our own choosing. But I promise you this ... it will lead to... Anne Perry

In the first place, his startling likeness to Catherine, connected him fearfully with her. That, however, which you may suppose the most potent to arrest my imagination, is actually the least? for what is not connected with her to me? and what does not recall her? I cannot look down to this floor, but her features are shaped on the flags! In every cloud, in every tree? filling the air at night, and caught by glimpses in every object, by day I am surrounded with her image! The most ordinary... Emily Bronte
It surprised him that she was the one who looked stricken with fear, as if she were a prisoner in the passenger seat and saw the fast-approaching collision seconds before the drive could react to it. Bonnie pinched her lower lip with her teeth and stared at Jack as if she were transfixed--as if he were the upcoming accident, and, even though she saw him coming, she couldn't turn away. John Irving
Nothing can be worse than the fear that one had given up too soon and left one unexpended effort which might have saved the world. Jane Addams
John Barth quote: "For whom is the funhouse fun? Perhaps for lovers. For Ambrose..."
For whom is the funhouse fun? Perhaps for lovers. For Ambrose it is a place of fear and confusion. John Barth
Ecstasy is a complex emotion containing elements of joy, fear, terror, triumph, surrender, and empathy. What has replaced our prehistoric understanding of this complex of ecstasy now is the word comfort, a tremendously bloodless notion. Drugs are not comfortable, and anyone who thinks they are comfortable or even escapist should not toy with drugs unless they’re willing to get their noses rubbed in their own stuff. Terence McKenna
Daniel Waters quote: "I'd rather live life with the consequences of my choice than..."
I'd rather live life with the consequences of my choice than live with the consequences of fear. Daniel Waters
I am told that the proximity of punishment arouses real repentance in the criminal and sometimes awakens a feeling of genuine remorse in the most hardened heart; I am told this is due to fear. Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Democrats, fearful of his grassroots campaign, blamed him for the election of George W. Bush, an absurdity that found fertile ground among those who had abandoned rational inquiry for the thought-terminating clichs of television. Chris Hedges
John Calvin quote: "Without the fear of God, men do not even observe justice and..."
Without the fear of God, men do not even observe justice and charity among themselves. John Calvin
O what a blessed day that will be when I shall . . . stand on the shore and look back on the raging seas I have safely passed; when I shall review my pains and sorrows, my fears and tears, and possess the glory which was the end of all! Richard Baxter
History always constitutes the relation between a present and its past. Consequently fear of the present leads to mystification of the past John Berger
If he were allowed contact with foreigners he would discover that they are creatures similar to himself and that most of what he has been told about them is lies. The sealed world in which he lives would be broken, and the fear, hatred, and self-righteousness on which his morale depends might evaporate. It is therefore realized on all sides that however ofter Persia, or Egypt, or Java, or Ceylon may change hands, the main frontiers must never be crossed by anything except bombs. George Orwell
