“She feared the unknown as we all do, and her ignorance made the unknown infinitely vast.”

“Very many maintain that all we know is still infinitely less than all that still remains unknown.”

“Though not fearful of measurable dangers, she feared the unknown.”

“Fear of the unknown and the other is the root of almost all hate. It is born of ignorance and fed by those who would keep us divided.”

“People are supposed to fear the unknown, but ignorance is bliss when knowledge is so damn frightening.”

“Lovecraft said that the oldest and strongest type of fear is the fear of the unknown. And he was an authority on such matters.But that's not exactly it, is it?We like the unknown. We're hunky dory with the unknown. We are, in fact, perfectly thrilled with the unknown -- as long as it remains unknown and we never have to think about it. What we're really afraid of is that the unknown will stand up and demand to be recognized. That it won't get out of the way quickly enough and we'll step in it, all squishy and moist. We're terrified at night in the dark that the rough, slouching unknown will crawl into bed and give us a hot wet kiss on the neck. We're not afraid of the unknown. We're afraid of the unknown becoming known.”
