About This Quote

Life is a roller coaster. We all ride it, and we all get scared when we fall off. But we must ride it, because we will survive. There are some people who are afraid to ride the roller coaster because they are afraid of heights, but there are some who are afraid of heights because they are afraid of the roller coaster.

Others are afraid of the roller coaster because they are afraid of riding it or because they are afraid of heights, or both. As Thomas Edison once said, "I have met the enemy and he is me."
