About This Quote
you can only be afraid of what you think you know. When you’re in a situation that is new or unfamiliar, you may feel fear. You don’t know how it works, and if something bad happens, you may be shocked. But the more time you spend with things, the less scary they become. If you learn how something works, your fear will lessen.
