Scariness Quotes

“Fear, f-e-a-r, is:

False
Evidence
Appearing
Real”
― Bashar

“I am scared of the photo studio. I am scared of the telephone. Scared of anything outside our apartment. Scared of the people in their big fur hats. Scared of the snow. Scared of the cold. Scared of the heat. Scared of the ceiling fan at which I would point one tragic finger and start weeping. Scared of any height higher than my sickbed. Scared of Uncle Electric Current. "Why was I so scared of everything?" I ask my mother nearly forty years later.

"Because you were born a Jewish person," she says.”
― Gary Shteyngart, Little Failure: A Memoir
