Olivia ManningGreat fear can cast love out.
About This Quote
Great fear can cast love out. It is not so much fear of the unknown or something that is difficult to understand, but the fear of the consequences of doing something wrong. The true meaning of this quote is that great fear can prevent us from doing something that we might otherwise do without any consequences. Fear often clouds the judgment, and if we are fearful about what we will feel or how others will react to our action, then we may put it off.
However, if we act in spite of our fears, then it is likely that we will feel good about ourselves afterward. Fear can also make love go away.
