“... human beings fear the unknown. So, whatever's freaking you out, grab it by the balls and say hello.”

“It's a lot easier to understand things once you name them. It's the unknown that mostly freaks me out. I don't know the name of that fear, but I know I've got it, the fear of the unknown.”

“Be weary of the unknown inside of every human being, but do not fear it, embrace it.”

“Never worry alone. When anxiety grabs my mind, it is self-perpetuating. Worrisome thoughts reproduce faster than rabbits, so one of the most powerful ways to stop the spiral of worry is simply to disclose my worry to a friend... The simple act of reassurance from another human being [becomes] a tool of the Spirit to cast out fear -- because peace and fear are both contagious.”

“Have no fear of moving into the unknown. Simply step out fearlessly, knowing that I am with you.”

“You're a freak, you know that? You've always been a freak. Everyone says so. They always have.""I'm trying not to be.”
