“We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger.”

“What are we so afraid of? Why don't we let 'em tell us we're afraid? What is it they're afraid of?" She picked up the stocking she had been darning, turned it in her hands, was silent awhile; finally she said, "What are they afraid of us for?”

“They are not afraid of what we are against, they are afraid of what we are for. What we are for is so much more powerful than what we are against.”

“Sometimes we don't know how afraid we are until we've reached a strange door and we don't know what will be on the other side.”

“I don't want us to be together because either of us is afraid. We have to be whole before we can share what we are with each other”

“This is our big chance to see what people think of us. The real us. We have to show em there's nothing to be afraid of. If we don't get over our fears, they never will.”
