Leo Tolstoy

The best stories don’t come from ‘good vs. bad’ but ‘good vs. good.’

The only absolute knowledge attainable by man is that life is meaningless.

If you want to be happy, be.

We are asleep until we fall in Love!

I always loved you, and if one loves anyone, one loves the whole person, just as they are and not as one would like them to be. -Dolly (Anna Karenina)

All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow.

There is only one universal passion fear.

Nothing is so much to be feared as fear.

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absense of fear.

Don’t let your fears overwhelm your desire. Let the barriers you face, and there will be barriers, be external, not internal. Fortune does favor the bold, and I promise that you will never know what you’re capable of unless you try.

Fear came in so much in my life that it did everything but completely stop me.

Fear is implanted in us as a preservative from evil; but its duty, like that of other passions, is not to overbear reason, but to assist it. It should not be suffered to tyrannize

I am pretty fearless. You know why? Because I don’t handle fear very well; I’m not a good terrified person.

There’s an old German proverb to the effect that fear makes the wolf bigger than he is,and that is true.

I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

Fear is static that prevents me from hearing myself.

What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.

Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain.

Don’t be afraid of fear. Because it sharpens you, it challenges you, it makes you stronger; and when you run away from fear, you also run away from the opportunity to be your best possible self.
