I miss you every minute of every day. If I could miss you more than that, I would.
Persaingan itu riil, yang khayal adalah ketakutan kita untuk menghadapi persaingan itu
Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.
To know a species, look at its fears. To know yourself, look at your fears. Fear in itself is not important, but fear stands there and points you in the direction of things that are important. Don't be afraid of your fears, they're not there to scare you; they're there to let you know that something is worth it.
To write as if your life depended on it; to write across the chalkboard, putting up there in public the words you have dredged; sieved up in dreams, from behind screen memories, out of silence- words you have dreaded and needed in order to know you exist.
Fall in love.. that is fine, but just make sure you fall deep enough to stay there forever.
They'll say you are bad
or perhaps you are mad
or at least you
should stay undercover.
Your mind must be bare
if you would dare
to think you can love
more than one lover.
The truth is that judgment and fear will never stop, but they don't actually do anything.
If you only knew how to respect my heart, I wouldn't have found a reason to let you go.
Most men fear getting laughed at or humiliated by a romantic prospect while most women fear rape and death.
I've met talespinners before, Jake, and they're all cut more or less from the same cloth. They tell tales because they're afraid of life.
But that inadequacy, or feeling of inadequacy, never really goes away. You just have to trudge ahead in the rain, regardless.
The best work that anybody ever writes is the work that is on the verge of embarrassing him, always.
And I think that in myself (and perhaps evident in what I write) fear of loss
and the corresponding instinct to protect myself against loss are potent forces.
Fear is felt by writers at every level. Anxiety accompanies the first word they put on paper and the last.
As a travel writer I've specialized in gritty, fearful destinations, the kind of places that make a reader's hair stick on end.
S is for SCARY! Fear is driven out by action! Bad habits are overcome by good habits.
And so I've written everything down, too afraid of my demons and what they may say, the doubt that eats at me from the inside. Too afraid that I'll forget and it'll all be a madwoman's dream.
Trust is not a gasoline-soaked blanket that succumbs to the matches of betrayal, never able to be used for its warmth again; it’s a tapestry that wears thin in places, but can be patched over if you have the right materials, circumstances, and patience to repair it. If you don’t, you’re always the one who feels the coldest when winter comes.
Remember that [scientific thought] is the guide of action; that the truth which it arrives at is not that which we can ideally contemplate without error, but that which we may act upon without fear; and you cannot fail to see that scientific thought is not an accompaniment or condition of human progress, but human progress itself.
People do not have the power to change situations, situations have the power to change people though.
The lion does not need the whole world to fear him, only those nearest where he roams.
The human race is a monotonous affair. Most people spend the greatest part of their time working in order to live, and what little freedom remains so fills them with fear that they seek out any and every means to be rid of it.
I believe that words are strong, that they can overwhelm what we fear when fear seems more awful than life is good.
I wrote when I was scared. It was all I knew to do- writing. It kept my fears firmly on the white paper before me rather than running loose around my head.
I, sometimes, fear that probably I'll just keep changing cities, and may be someday I'll also travel the world, but never find another soul who thinks exactly the way I do.
I've been badly scared myself, badly, for quite a few years now. You learn to live with it.
Once you let in the word, once you allow it to take root, it will spread like a mold through all of your corners and dark spaces - and with it, the questions, the shivery, splintered fears, enough to keep you permanently awake.
In a world of increasing complexity, the simple man walks alone. Knowing his ways are not of the world. Refusing to complicate and confuse those things which he knows to be true. Love is that which he seeks. Fear he flings aside. To stand tall before his creator and know that he is blessed beyond measure.
There is stability in walking an uncertain path, because you never allow yourself to be misled by what you think you know.
No matter what, don't live a life where you're too scared to die for what you believe in. Always go at it with everything you've got, even if it doesn't seem to be enough.
Relinquishing control to another person is like death: it’s only scary until it finally happens.
We’re all just people making decisions and accepting consequences as we march toward an impending and inevitable death.
I will see every thing I dream to see, I will have every thing I dream to have.
But I fear that once I have attained all of my dreams
That all of my nightmares will follow.
In order to deserve, we must pay our dues and steadily work for perfection. We must relish in struggle, and relinquish pride. We must dispel fear and seek enlightenment. We must shun division and honor love. We must know our hearts and seek to understand others. We must try, live, create, feel, grow and love.
All defensiveness and emotional tumult is a fear response because of your need for acceptance and ruthless control of the territory of your safe fantasy world.
Relax; the world's not watching that closely. It's too busy contemplating itself in the mirror.
My fear of being real, of being seen, paralyzes me into silence. I crave the touch and the connection, but I’m not always brave enough to open my hand and reach out. This is the great challenge: to be seen, accepted, and loved, I must first reveal, offer, and surrender.
Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes; and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of the demons.
Let us banish fear. We have been in this mental state for three centuries. I am a radical. I am ready to act, if I can find brave men to help me.
What monster sleeps in the deep of your story? You need a monster. Without a monster there is no story.
I'm convinced that fear is at the root of most bad writing. If one is writing for one's own pleasure, that fear may be mild - timidity is the word I've used here. If, however, one is working under deadline - a school paper, a newspaper article, the SAT writing sample - that fear may be intense.
If you're frightened of the countless number of books in the library, you'll never write anything, until you close your eyes and hold the pen.
Every person in the world has to figure out what the right place for them is. It’s okay to be afraid, as long as you don’t allow the fear to take over your life.
Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation. I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence, and the downward spiral begins.
Don't be decieved by your mortality, you're just a piece of debris, and the sophisticated one lies inside us which was either created or would be destroyed.
If you don't stop fear, fear will stop you. Somebody's gotta stop. My advice? Don't let it be you. Whatever IT is. Do IT afraid
I swear that I will never cause trouble for anybody, as long as I live!! So please! Nobody cause any trouble for me, either!!
What is society but an individual? [...] The ocean is not society; it is individuals. This was how I managed to gain a modicum of freedom from my terror at the illusion of the ocean called the world.
Write about the thing that scares you most or your most private confession and you'll never have a problem coming up with decent fiction.
We can only forgive the world to the extent that we forgive ourselves for being in it.
There are times that the emotions we keep in our hearts, no matter how abundant, are better left unexpressed.
There is a point when facing the unknown stops being a longed-for adventure and becomes a terrifying reality.
Our measure of hope is in direct proportion to our ability to conquer hopelessness.
Whatever actions you take, keep in mind that over the course of life, you will fail far more from timidity, procrastination, and carefulness than you will from just stepping up to the plate and, as we say in Australia, giving it a bloody go!
When it comes to words, rather than using our own voice, authentic and unpracticed, we steal someone else's to shield our fear.
Two powerful, little words I've learned to use when facing challenges, fears, and doubts -
so what?
Fear and hate create separation, love and joy creates belongingness and wholeness.
Things will happen that you can’t prevent, things will fall apart that you can’t hold together, but ultimately you’re shaping yourself and that final product speaks volumes about who you really are, not what people see you as or what you want to be.
Fear and self-doubt are the deadly enemies of creativity. Don’t invite either into your mind.
Child, it's a very bad thing for a woman to face the worst that can happen to her, because after she's faced the worst she can't ever really fear anything again. ...Scarlett, always save something to fear - even as you save something to love...
But you cant shut everyone out. I mean you have to have someone to love. . .someone to hold on to. . . someone-
In this whole screwed-up town, you're the only thing that's always been right to me," he whispered. "I love you, Claire." She saw something that might have been just a flash of panic go across his expression, but then he steadied again. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I do. I love you.
I love you, I thought. But I didn’t say it. It was not that I feared she would laugh in my face. She was far too kind for that. My fear was a greater one - that she won’t say it back.
I have such a fear of finding another like myself, and such a desire to find one! I am so utterly lonely, but I also have such a fear that my isolation be broken through, and I no longer be the head and ruler of my universe.
I believe that every single event in life happens in an opportunity to choose love over fear.
And here comes in the question whether it is better to be loved rather than feared, or feared rather than loved. It might perhaps be answered that we should wish to be both; but since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved.
Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent than the one derived from fear of punishment.
Fear is stronger than love, remember that. Fear is stronger than love, all that love I gave didn't mean nothing when it came to fear.
Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.
We pass through this world but once. Few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within.
I have accepted fear as part of life – specifically the fear of change... I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back....
I am afraid. Not of life, or death, or nothingness, but of wasting it as if I had never been.
