“All women are many women! I'm afraid you've never known very much about women.”
“I am afraid. I'm afraid of everything. I'm afraid of the dark, of closed-in spaces, of being alone and of getting too close. I'm afraid that I'll never again have the life I've always known, my feet in the dust and my heart full. I'm afraid of being alive; I'm afraid to die.”
“I'm not afraid of dying. I'm afraid I'll never get a chance to live!”
“I shall really be very unhappy unless you give me the sort of courage that makes one forget he is afraid.”
“I didn't want to hurt you," she blurted. "I never wanted to be someone you would regret. I'm not afraid for me. I'm afraid for you.”
