“I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me.”
Erica Jong (1942) Novelist, poet, memoirist, critic
“I fear being like everyone I hate, I fear failure, I fear losing control. I love balancing between chaos and control with everything I do. I always have a fear of going one way or another, getting lost in something, or losing everything to get lost in. And I fear being a completely acceptable sheep in society.”
