More on Danger
“I felt a strange tightness coming over me, and I reacted instinctively – for the first time in a long, long while – by slipping my notebook into my belt and reaching down to take off my watch. The first thing to go in a street fight is your watch, and once you’ve lost a few, you develop a certain instinct that lets you know when it’s time to get the thing off your wrist and into a safe pocket.”
“There is nothing more dangerous than a humiliated man.”
“Sticking your head in the sand might make you feel safer, but it’s not going to protect you from the coming storm.”
More on Fear
“The great Big Black Things that have loomed against the horizon of my life, threatening to devour me, simply loomed and nothing more. The things that have really made me miss my train havealways been sweet, soft, pretty, pleasant things of which I was not in the least afraid.”
“The fear of death is indeed the pretence of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being the appearance of knowing the unknown.”
“When someone isn't seen for a long time, Well, folk soon begin to imagine the worst.”
