“One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an end.”

“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”

“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.”

“You are only afraid if you are not in harmony with yourself. People are afraid because they have never owned up to themselves. A whole society composed of men afraid of the unknown within them!”

“Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin!”

“Don’t be afraid your life will end; be afraid that it will never begin.”
