“People have often asked me, what is fear? Is it the feeling of dread? The sweat of unease? Or is it the knowledge of the unknown future? No. It is none of these. Fear is as much alive as it is a soul. Fear feeds on joy. It lives in us all. It is something that can never be cast out of us, as a landlord evicts tenants from a house. If you go on and tell me, that fear doesn’t live in you. I would simply turn around and tell you to jump off a tower. Then we will see who is in the right.”
