fear

I have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.

The generality of men are naturally apt to be swayed by fear rather than reverence, and to refrain from evil rather because of the punishment that it brings than because of its own foulness.

A tragedy is the imitation of an action that is serious and also, as having magnitude, complete in itself . . . with incidents arousing pity and fear, wherewith to accomplish its catharsis of such emotions.

Don't fear change, embrace it.

I moved to New York City for my health. I'm paranoid and New York was the only place where my fears were justified.

Never take counsel of your fears.

By the time we are women, fear is as familiar to us as air; it is our element. We live in it, we inhale it, we exhale it, and most of the time we do not even notice it. Instead of "I am afraid," we say, "I don't want to," or "I don't know how," or "I can't."

Men fear silence as they fear solitude, because both give them a glimpse of the terror of life's nothingness.

That man is prudent who neither hopes nor fears anything from the uncertain events of the future.

People living deeply have no fear of death.
