The orange light looks like a gasoline fire. It comes in through people's rear windows, bounces off their rearview mirrors, projects a fiery mask across their eyes, reaches into their subconscious, and unearths terrible fears of being pinned, fully conscious, under a detonating gas tank, makes them want to pull over and let the Deliverator overtake them in his black chariot of pepperoni fire.
~ Neal Stephenson
The Rat Thing has them now," Hiro says.

This, and the owl, told all. It was as he had feared. Birds and bugs, top to bottom, front to back. All salvaged, not because they had innate value, but because they'd been given to the Royal Society by important people. They'd been kept here just as a young couple keeps the ugly wedding present from the rich aunt.
~ Neal Stephenson
It was black, the proper color for domestic terrorism during the evening hours
~ Neal Stephenson
Pain scares him, death doesn't especially (he never expected to live so long!), but chaos, and the feeling that the world is not behaving according to rational laws, put him into the same state of animal terror as a dog who's being dissected alive but cannot understand why.
~ Neal Stephenson
Every human thought, word, or deed is based on fear or love. Fear is the energy which contracts, closes down, draws in, hides, hoards, harms. Love is the energy which expands, opens up, sends out, reveals, shares, heals. You have free choice about which of these to select.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
All human actions are motivated at their deepest level by one of two emotions—fear or love.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
When fear is taken from you, all else can be taken from you and you will not be angry.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Thought is creative - Fear attracts like energy - Love is all there is.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Men invented the devil to scare people into doing what they wanted, under the threat of separation from God if they did not. Condemnation, being hurled into the everlasting fires of hell, was the ultimate scare tactic. Yet now you need be afraid no more. For nothing can, or ever will, separate you from Me.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Everybody is doing everything for themselves…. When you understand that this is true even about dying, you will never fear dying again.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Fear is the energy which contracts, closes down, draws in, runs, hides, hoards, harms. Love is the energy which expands, opens up, sends out, stays, reveals, shares, heals.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Every action taken by human beings is based in love or fear, not simply those dealing with relationships.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Fear clings to and clutches all that we have, love gives all that we have away. Fear holds close, love holds dear. Fear grasps, love lets go. Fear rankles, love soothes. Fear attacks, love amends.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
You think that this talk is tough? I tell you this: You have bastardized the Word of God in order to justify your fears and rationalize your insane treatment of each other. You will make God say whatever you need God to say in order to continue limiting each other, hurting each other, and killing each other in My name.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
The Laws are very simple. Thought is creative. Fear attracts like energy. Love is all there is.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
You will never disserve your relationship—nor anyone—by seeing more in another than they are showing you. For there is more there. Much more. It is only their fear that stops them from showing you. If others notice that you see them as more, they will feel safe to show you what you obviously already see.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Let each person find peace within. When you find peace within, you also find that you can do without. This means simply that you no longer need the things of your outside world. "Not needing" is a great freedom. It frees you, first, from fear: fear that there is something you won't have; fear that there is something you have that you will lose; and fear that without a certain thing, you won't be happy.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
You will not grow through guilt, but only shrivel and die. Awareness is what you seek. But awareness is not guilt, and love is not fear. Fear and guilt, I say again, are your only enemies. Love and awareness are your true friends. Yet do not confuse the one with the other, for one will kill you, while the other gives you life.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
Fear is an illusion created by the mind, and while we cling to our perception of fear, we will never experience true freedom.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
This means simply that you no longer need the things of your outside world. "Not needing" is a great freedom. It frees you, first, from fear: fear that there is something you won't have; fear that there is something you have that you will lose; and fear that without a certain thing, you won't be happy.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
See, it's just the reverse. Don't be afraid of the choice. Make the choice, then you'll know whether you've made the right one. And if it feels wrong to you, stop, turn around, and go back. And if it feels right to you, keep on going. Isn't that an interesting idea?
~ Neale Donald Walsch
