About This Quote

"It's the fear that kills us, Leah," Jende said. "Sometimes it happens and it's not even as bad as the fear. That is what I have learned in this life. It is the fear." Both of these quotes are true.

Fear can be a powerful emotion that can paralyze us into inaction, but it can also be a powerful motivator that forces us to keep moving forward. Fear can prevent us from trying new things or trying at all, but if we are afraid of failure, then we are also afraid of success. Fear can make us retreat into our shell instead of reaching out to others, but if we are afraid of rejection, then we are also afraid of intimacy.

Fear can make us ignore pain in order to avoid suffering, but if we are afraid of pain, then we are also afraid of happiness.
