Life is always frightful. We cannot help it and we are responsible all the same. One's born at once one is guilty.

Life is always frightful. We cannot help it and we are responsible all the same. One's born and at once one is guilty. You must have had a remarkable sort of religious education if you did not know that.

My dear: in this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it.

There is always danger for those who are afraid.

I have had a life in which I have had to face every big fear, and it has not been pleasant.

My work means that we have lived in different parts of the world and in each there has always been something to be afraid of. Gangsters, extremist political groups Right and Left tossing bombs into restaurants, hijacks, holdups, a city plumb on the line of an earthquake fault. We have long had a compact, with ourselves, with life; life is dangerous. We live with that; in the one certainty that fear is the real killer.

Strangely, although the world is already full of fearful things, mortals seems always to hunt for new worries.

Life is the farce we are all forced to endure.

Until we know that death is equal to life, we live in fear.

every new experience and in every new environment an individual will feel some degree of fear.

‎We are responsible for every situation in which we find ourselves.

Of course we’re frightened sometimes but we put up with being frightened.

If we live in a state of constant fear, can we remain human?

We are always more afraid than we wish to be, but we can always be braver than we expect.
