“You'll think this is a bit silly, but I'm a bit--well, I have a thing about birds.""What, a phobia?""Sort of.""Well, that's the common term for an irrational fear of birds.""What do they call a rational fear of birds, then?”
“I have no phobias. Phobias are irrational. My fears are rational and CAREFULLY CULTIVATED, like roses.”
“Who is the brave man--he who feels no fear? If so, then bravery is but a polite term for a mind devoid of rationality and imagination.”
“Our enemy is fear. Blinding, reason-killing fear. Fear consumes the truth and poisons all the evidence, leading us to false assumptions and irrational conclusions.”
“If you’re afraid of something, face it. Fear is irrational. The only way to conquer your fear is to put yourself next to it.”
