I don't have any fear of intimacy but rather thrive on it which is rare in a public person.

No person who is enthusiastic about his work has anything to fear from life.

The wise person often shuns society for fear of being bored.

Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward to have a low threshold of fear because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film.

I do not say think as I think but think in my way. Fear no shadows least of all in that great spectre of personal unhappiness which binds half the world to orthodoxy.

We are afraid to care too much for fear that the other person does not care at all.

A person's fears are lighter when the danger is at hand.

We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal private solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.

Persons famous in the arts partake of the immortality of princes and are upon a footing with them.

It isn't false modesty when I say this but although I am supposed to be a famous person it doesn't mean anything to me. I just sit at home and work.
