The only thing I’m afraid of is a life without you, Pigeon.

Тя започва да съзира страха - не големия, грабващ до виене на свят страх от височината и пропастта, а онзи всекидневен, назабележим, дребен страшец, полепнал като сив прах по думите, по стъпките и отношенията на хората в ниското. Страшец, който носи безобидни имена: благоразумие, предпазливост, презастраховка, съгласуване, съобразяване, сигнализиране и тем подобни добродетели. Страшец, заседнал по лицата и мислите както някакъв пепеляв, защитен цвят. Струва й се, че започва да отгатва: тези млади хора се катерят така високо, за да предизвикат големия, истински, основателен страх и да тръснат от плещите си наслоения дребен, унизяващ ги страшец.

To say that Richard Mayhew was not very good at heights would be perfectly accurate, but would fail to give the full picture; it would be like describing the planet Jupiter as bigger than a duck. Richard hated clifftops, and high buildings; somewhere not far inside of him was the fear – the start, utter, silently screaming terror – that if he got too close to the edge, then something would take over, and he would find himself walking to the edge of a clifftop and then he would just step off into space. It was as if he could not entirely trust himsels, and that scared Richard more than the simple fear of falling ever could. So he called it vertigo, and hated it and himself, and kept away from high places.
Neil GaimanAvoiding life, avoiding making any concrete plans for your life--that's just one way you're pretending you can keep bad things from happening to you again.

He who does not fear the sword he holds is not worthy of holding a sword.
-Hisagi Shuuhei
In becoming forcibly and essentially aware of my mortality, and of what I wished and wanted for my life, however short it might be, priorities and omissions became strongly etched in a merciless light and what I most regretted were my silences. Of what had I ever been afraid? To question or to speak as I believed could have meant pain, or death. But we all hurt in so many different ways, all the time, and pain will either change, or end. Death, on the other hand, is the final silence. And that might be coming quickly, now, without regard for whether I had ever spoken what needed to be said, or had only betrayed myself into small silences, while I planned someday to speak, or waited for someone else's words. And I began to recognize a source of power within myself that comes from the knowledge that while it is most desirable not to be afraid, learning to put fear into a perspective gave me great strength.
I was going to die, if not sooner then later, whether or not I had ever spoken myself. My silences had not protected me. Your silence will not protect you.

Bang bang bang. I understand now why so many horror movies use that device-the mysterious knock on the door-because it has the weight of a nightmare. You don't know what's out there, yet you know you'll open it. You'll think what I think: No one bad ever knocks.
Gillian FlynnShe turned back to the door fishing her key out of her purse. Once the key was in the lock, the door flew open revealing darkness. All she had time for was a squeak before she was abruptly pulled in the house by her shirt. The door slammed shut and locked behind her with a clank of sliding metal.

We are, perhaps uniquely among the earth’s creatures, the worrying animal. We worry away our lives, fearing the future, discontent with the present, unable to take the idea of dying, unable to sit still.

Pain explains a great deal of human conduct, but the fear of pain even more.
