“But fear and anxiety are not the same at all. One is an appropriate reaponse to a real situation which I can accept and learn to work through just as I work through semi-blindness. But the other, anxiety, is an immobilizing yield to things that go bump in the night, a surrender to namelessness, formlessness, voicelessness, and silence.” — Audre Lorde
