Quotes About Fear

No era el miedo a los abismos galácticos lo que helaba su alma, sino una más profunda inquietud, que brotaba desde el futuro aún por nacer.
~ Arthur C. Clarke
There was no mistake. The leathery wings, the little horns, the barbed tail - all were there. The most terrible of all legends had come to life, out of the unknown past.
~ Arthur C. Clarke
Quando aquele mar de fogo se expandiu abaixo dele, Bowman devia ter sentido medo, mas, curiosamente, agora sentia apenas uma ligeira apreensão. Não que sua mente estivesse entorpecida de maravilhas.

Does it not seem strange to you, began Yarlan Zey, that though the skies are open to us, we have tried to bury ourselves in the Earth? It is the beginning of the sickness whose ending you have seen in your age.

~ Arthur Conan Doyle
A hound it was, an enormous coal-black hound, but not such a hound as mortal eyes have ever seen.
~ Arthur Conan Doyle
Far away on the path we saw Sir Henry looking back, his face white in the moonlight, his hands raised in horror, glaring helplessly at the frightful thing which was hunting him down. But that cry of pain from the hound had blown all our fears to the winds. If he was vulnerable he was mortal, and if we could wound him we could kill him. Never have I seen a man run as Holmes ran that night.

Several times during the last three years I have taken up my pen to write to you, but always I feared lest your affectionate regard for me should tempt you to some indiscretion which would betray my secret.
~ Arthur Conan Doyle
That mysterious change is too subtle and too gradual to be measured by dates. Least of all does the maiden herself know it until the tone of a voice or the touch of a hand sets her heart thrilling within her, and she learns, with a mixture of pride and of fear, that a new and a larger nature has awoke within her. There are few who cannot recall that day and remember the one little incident which heralded the dawn of a new life.
~ Arthur Conan Doyle
Sollevò il fanale con mano così tremante che la luce danzava tutt'intorno a noi. La signorina Morstan mi afferrò il polso, il cuore in tumulto. Usciva nella notte dalla grande casa buia il più doloroso e malinconico dei suoni: il singhiozzo di una donna spaventata

~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark, but the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. When we refuse to see the truth that lies before us because facing it is too hard and scary for us. Because when we acknowledge that light, then we see the monsters the dark no longer hides and we are honor bound to do something to stop them.
