"Fear no more, says the heart...." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“It is worth mentioning, for future reference, that the creative power which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in. Then one becomes resigned. Determination not to give in, and the sense of an impending shape keep one at it more than anything.”

“But nothing is so strange when one is in love (and what was this except being in love?) as the complete indifference of other people.”

“it is strange how the dead leap out on us at street corners, or in dreams”

“Even snakes are afraid of snakes.”

“Persistence is the direct result of habit. The mind absorbs and becomes a part of the daily experiences upon which it feeds. Fear, the worst of all enemies, can be effectively cured by forced repetition of acts of courage.”

“In the night, imagining some fear,How easy is a bush supposed a bear!”

“Out of doubt, out of dark to the day's rising I came singing into the sun, sword unsheathing. To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking: Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!”

“It is plain that there is no separate essence called courage, no cup or cell in the brain, no vessel in the heart containing drops or atoms that make or give this virtue; but it is the right or healthy state of every man, when he is free to do that which is constitutional to him to do.”

“Once men are caught up in an event, they cease to be afraid. Only the unknown frightens men.”
