“... Fear doesn't frighten me as much as it used to. I know it's from clinging, and I know it will pass [p. 29].”

“Because people with that much spirit frighten the hell out of me. They make me want to be a better person when I know it's not possible.”

“I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell. Possibly. It doesn't frighten me.”

“And now I understand something so frightening &wonderful-how the mind clings to the road it knows,rushing through crossroads, stickinglike lint to the familiar.”

“I know and share the many sorrows a human being can experience, but I do not cling to them; they pass through me, like life itself, as a broad eternal stream...and life continues...”

“Death doesn't really worry me that much, I'm not frightened about it... I just don't want to be there when it happens.”
