Heh.
And in the fury of this darkest hour
I will be your light
A lifetime for this destiny
For I am Winter born
And in this moment I will not run
It is my place to stand
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands
-- CrüXshadows, "Winterborn (This Sacrifice)"
A sign of health is that we don't become undone by fear and trembling, but take it as a message that it's time to stop struggling and look directly at what threatens us.
-- Pema Chodron, Buddhist nun, author
to be nobody but yourself in a world
which is doing its best night and day
to make you like everybody else
means to fight the hardest battle
any human being can fight and
never stop fighting.
-- e.e. cummings
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear.
-- Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar
The only things I regret not doing are the things I didn't do because I was too afraid. Life is too short to live in fear.
-- Christian Slater as 'Julian Poe'
To see a man fearless in dangers, untainted with lusts, happy in adversity, composed in a tumult, and laughing at all those things which are generally either coveted or feared, all men must acknowledge that this can be from nothing else but a beam of divinity that influences a mortal body.
-- Seneca
It is when power is wedded to chronic fear that it becomes formidable.
-- Eric Hoffer, The Passionate State of Mind, 1954
Long as you're not afraid, nobody can run your life for you. Remember that. Hell is being scared of things. Heaven is refusing to be scared.
-- Tom Robbins
Darkness in the morning
Shadows on the land
Certain individuals
Aren't sticking to the plan.
-- Warren Zevon
Due to circumstances beyond my control,
I am master of my fate and captain of my soul.
