“Where danger shews it self, apprehension cannot, without stupidity, be wanting; where danger is, sense of danger should be; and so much fear as should keep us awake, and excite our attention, industry, and vigour; but not to disturb the calm use of our reason, nor hinder the execution of what that dictates.” ShouldSelfReasonUseAttentionDangerIndustryCalmStupidityAwakeExecutionApprehensionHinder Book:Locke, Berkely & Hume Source: Locke, Berkely & Hume
“The one thread that was most surprising and most consistent was the lack of fear that people felt at the worst moment. They felt a lot of fear in early stages, when they're just realizing what's happening. But then things really seemed to be at their peak of terror, the fear went away.
