"I must say a word about fear. It is life's only
true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous
adversary, how well I know. It has no decency, respects no law or convention,
shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unerring
ease. It begins in your mind, always.
[...]The matter is difficult to put into
words. For fear, real fear, such as shakes you to your foundation, such as you
feel when you are brought face to face with your mortal end, nestles in your
memory like a gangrene: it seeks to rot everything, even the words with which
to speak of it. So you must fight hard to express it. You must fight hard to
shine the light of words upon it. Because if you don't, if your fear becomes a
wordless darkness that you avoid, perhaps even manage to forget, you open
yourself to further attacks of fear because you never truly fought the opponent
who defeated you."
