Do not fear ever to think. A half thought has been buzzing often in my brain, but I fear to let him loose his wings. Here now, with more knowledge, I go back to where that half thought come from and I find that he be no half thought at all. That be a whole thought, though so young that he is not yet strong to use his little wings.

Some men think because they're afraid to do.

I don't know. I don't know at all. And that's what's frightening the life out of me. To have no idea....

I exist because I think … and I can't stop myself from thinking. At this very moment–it's frightful–if I exist, it is because I am horrified at existing.

I don’t want to start thinking again. Not like I have this last week. I can’t think again. Not ever again.

It is not that we cannot think. It is that we are afraid to think. It is so much easier to go with the tide than against it, to shout with the crowd than to stand lonely and suspect in the midst of it. Even some of us who try to escape this hypnotism of the flock do not succeed in thinking independently. We only succeed in getting into other flocks.

I think a have so much fear about speaking out or just having an opinion on something.

You have decided being scared is caused mostly by thinking.

That fear which gives birth to thoughts, and the fear of thoughts...

I was afraid and did not know what I feared, which is the worst kind of fear.

I am almost frighted out of my seven senses.

I’ve found that if I can't come up with even an inkling of how my mind might be changed, then I'm not really thinking at all; I'm just set on holding on to my current beliefs.

Fear is incomplete knowledge.

That's the whole trouble. When you're feeling very depressed, you can't even think.
