Zack De La RochaLeaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them.

Jack HandyI don't know. People always think that there has got to be a dark side to everyone, a closet with skeletons, demons under the bed. People think all kinds of things about one another. They feel compelled to make up fears and false assumptions about their closest friends. Truth is, I'll never know all there is to know about you just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candour.

And snatch a fearful joy

Vincent T LombardiThere was reason to fear that the Revolution, like Saturn, might devour in turn each one of her children.
