“People are afraid of anything they don't understand. When they understand, when they know the truth, they can do something about it.”
Ann Weil, Red Sails to Capri

“Most of the monsters men fear are in their minds. They would vanish like smoke if we would only let them.”
Ann Weil, Red Sails to Capri

“I wasn't frightened. I was just afraid." Her aunt smiled. "Is there a difference?" "Oh yes," Eleanor said. "When you're frightened you run away. When you're afraid you keep on doing what you're supposed to do.”
Ann Weil, Eleanor Roosevelt: Courageous Girl
