Fearful Thoughts Quotes

“Those thoughts come to me in the night, those thought and thoughts of becoming sick or helpless, of the nursing home, of lingering death. I gnaw again the old bones of the fear of what is to come, and grieve with a sisterly grief over Grandmam and Mrs. Feltner and the other old women who have gone before. Finally, as a gift, as a mercy, I remember to pray, 'Thy will be done,' and then again I am free and can go to sleep.”
― Wendell Berry, Hannah Coulter

“Loneliness, I’ve discovered–I discovered then–is a hard-to-define emotion. It’s the product of unfulfillment, a factor of frustration, and as such it is largely an emotion of negatives; it arises most often not from something that has, but from something that has not happened–a letter that has failed to arrive, a telephone that refuses to ring–and its worst feature is that its causes and its control are not governed by anything that you can do or can hope to do, but depend on the actions of some other. Thus it is that it has nothing to do with setting or with circumstance; it can descend on you anywhere, anytime, and as reasonlessly and as abruptly as a cloud can blot out the summer sun.”
― Robert M. Coates, The Bitter Season

“The seeds of evil blooms in the fields of negligence.”
― Mladen Đorđević, Svetioničar - Pomračenje

“When a scary thought first works its way into your brain, you have a choice. You can camp out on that thought in your mind, like my Two-Mama says not to do. Or you can deal with it right away to keep it from becoming bigger and scarier than it already is.”
― Sadie Robertson, Live Fearless: A Call to Power, Passion, and Purpose

“Everything that appears nightmarish does not really shake the foundations and kill you.”
― Anuradha Bhattacharyya, Jadu

“Sometimes fearful , sometimes courageous, doing my best to live in present, nor in past, neither in future.”
― Pritam

“The goal is to face your fears. That is how you overcome fear. Then it can’t have a stronghold over you, your beliefs, and your mind.”
