Martha Gellhorn Quote

The restless adventurer within me stands eye-to-eye with the fear that has stepped directly in my path. And the thing I absolutely must not do is to blink first.

I'm afraid to go out at night because it's too dark.I'm afraid to try different food because I may not like it.I'm afraid to do something different because what if I fail.I'm afraid to smile at someon...

Have we ever thought that being lost is our destination?

…Do you think there’s somewhere else, some other place to go after this one? Mandy blurted out. You mean when you die, where will you end up? Alecto asked her. …I wouldn’t know… back to whatever void...

The more we construct lives that prioritize safety, the bigger the prison we construct around ourselves.

I can attempt to stay on the fence. However, the problem is that the fence is a figment of my fear not a reality of my journey.

My fear of endings too often blocks my hope of beginnings.

Fear is a lethal killer of dreams, the greatest cancer that has beset passion, and a ruthless thief of lives stolen and buried in the decay of lives squandered. Yet the greatest tragedy of all is that...

You won't become what you want to be, else you become what you fear to be.

Safety is not a destination that we reach for, rather it is a retreat that we escape to. And if our lives are marked by the incessant search for safety, we will live the whole of it going in reverse.
