I am helping people maybe scrape off some of the old stuff that has been put upon us that has taken us from being genius's to not feeling great about ourselves by having doubts, fears and anxieties.
The French want no-one to be their superior. The English want inferiors. The Frenchman constantly raises his eyes above him with anxiety. The Englishman lowers his beneath him with satisfaction.
I can't imagine turning into one of those codgers who no longer reads fiction. I'm regularly stirred by it and suffer no anxiety of influence. Influence me! That was my credo then, as I was developing and learning, and remains so now, as I'm developing and learning.
To be happy means to be free, not from pain or fear, but from care or anxiety.
I am touched by your beautiful anxiety about life.
When I compare myself and my opponents in other countries in the light of history, I do not fear the verdict on our respective mentalities.
Learn the lesson of your pain
When anxiety disrupts functioning, it's psychiatric illness.
I had all this anxiety about what it meant to be a minority. My professors - the same men who taught me the intricacies of language - just shied away from the issue. They didn't want to talk about it, other than to suggest I could be a "role model" to other Hispanics - when I went back to my barrio, I suppose.
I believe such passion-even passion born of fear and anxiety-is far better than a life of banality.
Anxiety is not to be managed it is a sin that needs to be repented of
The stuff I write about is pretty universal, the things my closest friends and I talk about - our anxiety about being here on this scary planet, during these scary times, as vulnerable as kittens, having lost so many people I couldn't live without.
Real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.
With the second record (2012's Anxiety), I was quite jaded, and exhausted, and tired. With this third record, I feel that I've come full circle. I had gotten to the absolute pinnacle of how bad someone could feel.
Your desires are immense, almost infinite. Because of your desires life becomes a competition, and wherever there is competition, there is anxiety and angst; and at the end everybody is aware deep down there is death.
Not knowing what's happening, from script to script, as an actor and as a character, lends itself to the same tension and anxiety of not knowing what's happening.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
There's a very fine line between anxiety and excitement. If you don't let anxiety stop you, you can nudge it over the line.
We used to moralize; today we normalize, and performance anxiety is the secular version of our old religious guilt.
It is only when we want to take our lives out of the Father’s hands and have them under our own control that we find ourselves gripped with anxiety. The secret of freedom from anxiety is freedom from ourselves and abandonment of our own plans. But that spirit emerges in our lives only when our minds are filled with the knowledge that our Father can be trusted implicitly to supply everything we need.
