John Grisham quote: "I'm alone and outgunned, scared and inexperienced, but I'm right."
I'm alone and outgunned, scared and inexperienced, but I'm right. John Grisham

Vera had not sensed my approach. She was peering into the instrument and turning knobs with child-like seriousness and ineptitude. It was obvious that she had never used a microscope before. I stole closer to her, and then I said, "Boo!"She jerked her head away from the eyepiece."Hello," I said."You scared me to death," she said."Sorry," I said, and I laughed. These ancient games go on and on. It's nice they do. Kurt Vonnegut
She could hear, some way off, her brothers calling to each other in the woods behind the house. She hoped desperately that their game wouldn't bring them any closer, that they wouldn't scare the birds away. Somehow she knew that you didn't get many moments like this in your life: moments when you knew, without any doubt, that you were alive, when you felt the air in your lungs and the wet grass beneath your feet and the cotton on your skin; moments when you were completely in the present,... Neil Gaiman
They don't have to think. Just be afraid naturally and pulling together. Like specks of mercury rolling into the big piece.

Ken Kesey
Jack Kerouac quote: "I wasn't scared; I was just somebody else, some stranger, and..."
I wasn't scared; I was just somebody else, some stranger, and my whole life was a haunted life, the life of a ghost. Jack Kerouac

I was no longer scared. I could see what was inside me. Amy Tan
Archie became absolutely still, afraid that the rapid beating of his heart might betray his sudden knowledge, the proof of what he'd always suspected, not only of Brother Leon but most grownups, most adults: they were vulnerable, running scared, open to invasion. Robert Cormier
What's it like to be that goofy little soldier, scared stiff, with his bayonet aimed at Christ? What's it like to have been a woman in a defense-plant job during World War II? What's it like to be a kid at the front lines? It's all funny and tragic at the same time Studs Terkel
But you know it's hard to tell. When you're in the spell if it's wrong or if it's real. But you're bound to lose. If you let the blues get you scared to feel Joni Mitchell
When someone reaches middle age, people he knows begin to get put in charge of things, and knowing what he knows about the people who are being put in charge of things scares the hell out of him. Calvin Trillin
People in general are scared to death of the war and all the exhibition have been a failure, because the rich - don't want to buy anything Frida Kahlo
No more fear of hunger. A new kind of freedom. But what then ... what? What would my life be like on a daily basis? Most of it has been consumed with the acquisition of food. Take that away and I'm not really sure who I am, what my identity is. The idea scares me some. Suzanne Collins
You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it. You say you love sun, but you seek shelter when it is shining. You say you love wind, but when it comes you close your windows. So that's why I'm scared when you say you love me. Bob Marley
