“Instead of fearing what could go wrong. Fear what happens if you never try.”

“Life was what happened when all the what-if’s didn’t, when what you dreamed or hoped or – in this case – feared might come to pass passed by instead.”

“I guess that's the story of life: what you most fear never happens, but what you most yearn for never happens either. This is the difference between life and fiction. I suppose it's a good trade-off. But I'm not sure.”

“If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?”

“Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.”

“You must never be fearful of what you are doing when it is right.”

“There's never anything wrong with fear, it's completely human. However, don't let it destroy you. The only way to overcome fear is to face it.”

“You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.”

“So what’s wrong if there happens to be one guy in the world who enjoys trying to understand you?”

“Passion is never enough; neither is skill. But try. For our sake and yours forget your name in the street; tell us what the world has been to you in the dark places and in the light. Don't tell us what to believe, what to fear. Show us belief's wide skirt and the stitch that unravels fear's caul.”
