I kept on going and I overcame my fears and got over my insecurities.
Having said that, I must now admit that I was still afraid of human beings, and before I could meet even the customers in the bar I had to fortify myself by gulping down a glass of liquor. The desire to see frightening things—that was what drew me every night to the bar where, like the child who squeezes his pet all the harder when he actually fears it a little, I proclaimed to the customers standing at the bar my drunken, bungling theories of art.
The miser acquires, yet fears to use his gains.
The worst sorrows in life are not in its losses and misfortunes, but its fears.
Live in your hopes and not in your fears.
I never take counsel of my fears.
The only way to go beyond your fears is to grow beyond them and that always means challenging, overcoming and learning from them.
Fear attracts the darkness. When you have no fear, the darkness fears YOU.
I have always staged my fears as a way to transcend them.
He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.
Monsters almost always are culture's way of working out their fears.
He who fears death has already lost the life he covets.
Sweet flowers alone can say what passion fears revealing.
Do the things you believe in, in the name of love. And know that, you aren't alone. We all have doubts and fears.
These long-run worries, there's an element of truth to them, but I think frankly the fears are exaggerated.
I think fear neutralizes alcohol, weakens its anesthetic power. It's good for small fears; your boss, your wife, your bills, your dentist; all right then to take a drink. But for big ones it doesn't do any good. Like water on blazing gasoline, it will only quicken and compound it. It takes sand, in the literal and the slang sense, to smother the bonfire that is fear. And if you're out of sand, then you must burn up.
It's easy to be brave when they're not my fears.
We promise according to our hopes and perform according to our fears.
Most of the reasons people think they can't do something are reasons they've created. Everything you do is up to you. Part of life is realizing that you have much more potential and ability than you'd ever know. However, it is up to you to reach inside, face the fears, and unleash that which really drives you.
At some point in life you have to face your fears.
