“If you don't learn how to be scared, you'll never really learn how to be brave.”
― Simon Holt, The Devouring

“It's like the smarter you are, the more things can scare you.”
― Katherine Paterson, Bridge to Terabithia

“She had a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach, like when you're swimming and you want to put your feet down on something solid, but the water's deeper than you think and there's nothing there”
― Julia Gregson, East of the Sun

“I thought that if I owned nothing, had nothing, was nothing, I would have nothing left to lose, and I wouldn't be scared anymore. Because my whole life I’ve been so damn scared. Scared to live because I was scared to die. But at the same I was so scared of living, so I wanted to die. Or maybe so scared of dying that I refused to live. You don't have to be afraid to fall, when you're already on the ground. You don't have to be scared to lose someone, when there's no one around to lose.”
― Charlotte Eriksson, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles: in search for The Great Perhaps
