I have an irrational fear that I'm going to have a gruesome and untimely death because so many wonderful things are happening to me. ~ Margot Robbie
Irrational Fear quotes by Margot Robbie
It was an irrational fear. But when had fear ever been rational? ~ Veronica Rossi
Irrational Fear quotes by Veronica Rossi
I am never excited to play through a song all the way, because it can reveal more flaws that mean more work. For some reason, I always have an irrational fear that the song will never be finished. ~ Robert Lopez
Irrational Fear quotes by Robert Lopez
No wonder that the ghost and goblin stories had a new zest. No wonder that the blood of the more timid grew chill and curdled, that their flesh crept, and their hearts beat irregularly, and the girls peeped fearfully over their shoulders, and huddled close together like frightened sheep, and half-fancied they beheld some impish and malignant face gibbering at them from the darkling corners of the old room. By degrees my high spirits died out, and I felt the childish tremors, long latent, long forgotten, coming over me. I followed each story with painful interest; I did not ask myself if I believed the dismal tales. I listened and fear grew upon me - the blind, irrational fear of our nursery days. ("Horror: A True Tale") ~ John Berwick Harwood
Irrational Fear quotes by John Berwick Harwood
There are irrational fears. If you see a woman wearing a hijab and fear is your first thought, something's really wrong. ~ Hamza Yusuf
Irrational Fear quotes by Hamza Yusuf
I have often wondered if the irrational fear some men have of women that incites them to subjugate and oppress the female species begins in the adage: I brought you into this world, I can take you out! ~ Annastacia Dickerson
Irrational Fear quotes by Annastacia Dickerson
She saw that Devin's bedroom door was still closed, and a sudden, irrational fear gripped her that Devin might not be there. But she opened her door and saw her sleeping on her back, her limbs spread out like points of a star. Her glasses were perched on her bedside table as if watching her, as if lonely for her. ~ Sarah Addison Allen
Irrational Fear quotes by Sarah Addison Allen
I am bundle of nerves riddled with irrational fears. ~ Tori Spelling
Irrational Fear quotes by Tori Spelling
We have to be the people who stand up and say look, vigilance is good and prudence is good. But a kind of irrational fear that leads itself to demagogic rhetoric is something that we have to say no - no, we're not going to go there. ~ Russell D. Moore
Irrational Fear quotes by Russell D. Moore
The script changed so much over seven months and just had loads and loads of re-writes. I tried to tailor things to what I was interested in, like the relationship with the dad changed quite a lot because I thought one of the things when you're a young guy one of your biggest fears is this irrational fear of walking in your dad's footsteps and living the same life as him. I thought, even if your dad's a good guy, you just want to assert your independence on everything and it causes these irrational sort of rages. ~ Robert Pattinson
Irrational Fear quotes by Robert Pattinson
there is nothing to fear but fear itself.....AHHH! ~ Gus
Irrational Fear quotes by Gus
My parents had irrational fears of Mexico and assumed that once you crossed the border, drug runners made you swallow a heroin balloon and then within the hour you were in a bathtub full of ice and they were harvesting your kidneys. ~ Justin Halpern
Irrational Fear quotes by Justin Halpern
Around the time they were preparing Jose Arcadio for the seminary she had already made a detailed recapitulation of life in the house since the founding of Macondo and had completely changed the opinion that she had always had of its descendants. She realized that Colonel Aureliano Buendia had not lost his love for the family because he had been hardened by the war, as she had thought before, but that he had never loved anyone... Amaranta, however, whose hardness of heart frightened her, whose concentrated bitterness made her bitter, suddenly became clear to her in the final analysis as the most tender woman who had ever existed, and she understood with pitying clarity that the unjust tortures to which she had submitted Pietro Crespi had not been dictated by a desire for vengeance, as everyone had thought, nor had the slow martyrdom with which she had frustrated the life of Colonel Gerineldo Marquez been determined by the gall of her bitterness, as everyone had thought, but that both actions had been a mortal struggle between a measureless love and an invincible cowardice, and that the irrational fear that Amaranta had always had of her own tormented heart had triumphed in the end. It was during that time that Ursula began to speak Rebeca's name, bringing back the memory of her with an old love that was exalted by tardy repentance and a sudden admiration, coming to understand that only she, Rebeca , the one who had never fed of her milk but only of the earth of the land and t ~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Irrational Fear quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Any irrational fears?no, i'm quite a rationalist. i'm not superstitious, i think life is too full of natural wonders and logical complexities to worry about illogical things. ~ Benedict Cumberbatch
Irrational Fear quotes by Benedict Cumberbatch
Is the drive to refuse gay blood a fear of contracting HIV/AIDS, or is it an embodiment of the irrational fear that receiving blood from gay people will somehow make them gay? ~ Christina Engela
Irrational Fear quotes by Christina Engela
Emotional exhaustion follows fast on the footsteps of physical and mental depletion. I feel my lifeblood draining away in an oily spigot of inner turmoil. Questions abound and personal survival hinges upon sorting through possible solutions and selecting the most fitting answers. Is my pain real or simply an illusion of a frustrated ego? What do I believe in? What is my purpose? I aspire to discover a means to live in congruence with the trinity of the mind, body, and spirit. Can I discover a noble path that frees me from the shallowness of decadent physical and emotional desires? Can I surrender any desire to seek fame and fortune? Can I terminate a craving to punish other persons for their perceived wrongs? Can I recognize that forgiving persons whom offended me is a self-initiated, transformative act? Can I conquer an irrational fear of the future? Can I accept the inevitable chaos that accompanies life? Can I find a means to achieve inner harmony by steadfastly resolving to live in the moment free of angst? Can I purge egotisms that mar an equitable perception of life by renunciation of the self and all worldly endeavors? Can I live a harmonious existence devoid the panache of vanities? ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Irrational Fear quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
I approach my character with the question: What would an animal think? How would an animal respond? A lot of times, it's quick action and no fear, and sometimes it's irrational fear. You don't always know. ~ Victoria Pratt
Irrational Fear quotes by Victoria Pratt
This is a real problem when you yourself recognize that your worry is based on an "irrational" fear. "I know it doesn't make any sense," people say. "That's what really bothers me about these thoughts. ~ David A. Carbonell
Irrational Fear quotes by David A. Carbonell
Christians sometimes make themselves into elephants afraid of mice. You have the Creator of the universe on your side; not to mention, you've been given eternal life. 'Whom or what shall you fear?' To be afraid of anything other than God himself is like an insult to God. ~ Criss Jami
Irrational Fear quotes by Criss Jami
She hoped to understand the feelings that had sprouted and continued to grow inside her human shell. The unquenchable desire for companionship. The irrational fear of uncertainty. The constant, gnawing need for more. ~ Hillary Jacques
Irrational Fear quotes by Hillary Jacques
The parts of my new job that filled me with abject and irrational fear, that twisted me into all kinds of knots, were the raw emotions of those left alive. It was the living who were the great unknown. ~ Scot Gardner
Irrational Fear quotes by Scot Gardner
I'm just going to put this out there: I grew up with an irrational fear of Flying Monkeys. How is a little kid supposed to know that they only exist in Oz? ~ Bobby Adair
Irrational Fear quotes by Bobby Adair
But if they were afraid of lemon meringue pie, this would be an irrational fear, because lemon meringue pie is delicious and has never hurt a soul. ~ Lemony Snicket
Irrational Fear quotes by Lemony Snicket
A cemetery?" I chuckle, but the pitch is a bit higher than I expected. "At night? With a full moon? Um ... did you see any, uh, zombies, you, while you were there?"
Shiko blinks at me a few times. "No"
I slump in relief. "Thank God. I mean, I don't want to be the first to die. The funny guy always dies first, for shock value, you know. Rourke would get killed next, because it's be a heroic sacrifice or something." I motion to Shiko. "You'd live, though, unless you had sex."
... Shiko has the look of an addled kitten, complete with head tilt. Rourke sighs and leans toward her, embarrassed.
'You'll have to excuse him. According to his mother he has an irrational fear of something called the zombie apocalypse."
"It's not irrational! ~ Vaughn R. Demont
Irrational Fear quotes by Vaughn R. Demont
Uncontrolled irrational fear of the unknown is a cyclone of the mind and can create a panic attack. Meditation can calm the ocean and bring tranquility and peace. ~ Debasish Mridha
Irrational Fear quotes by Debasish Mridha
In fact, his purity scared them off, and his honesty ignited irrational fear in an America where men were draped with medals for killing other men yet imprisoned for loving one another. ~ Morrissey
Irrational Fear quotes by Morrissey
She had this terrible, irrational fear that if she let go of him she would never touch him again and the thought of that was paralyzing. ~ Kristin Hannah
Irrational Fear quotes by Kristin Hannah
I don't know about you, but I want God to reveal the second step before I take the first step of faith. But I've discovered that if I don't take the first step, God generally won't reveal the next step...

Most of us will only follow Christ to the point of precedence -- the place where we have been before. But ...

If you want God to do something new, you cannot keep doing what you've always done. You've got to push past the fear of the unknown. You've got to do something different. ~ Mark Batterson
Irrational Fear quotes by Mark Batterson
Confidence is not allowing your fear of weaknesses and limitations to hold you back but to take control of your weakness and limitation. ~ Abdulazeez Henry Musa
Irrational Fear quotes by Abdulazeez Henry Musa
You can't stop a soldier from being frightened but you can give him motivation to help him overcome that fear. I have no such motivation. I can't have. I'm a witcher: an artificially created mutant. I kill monsters for money. I defend children when their parents pay me to. If Nilfgaardian parents pay me, I'll defend Nilfgaardian children. And even if the world lies in ruin - which does not seem likely to me - I'll carry on killing monsters in the ruins of this world until some monster kills me. That is my fate, my reason, my life and my attitude to the world. And it is not what I chose. It was chosen for me. ~ Andrzej Sapkowski
Irrational Fear quotes by Andrzej Sapkowski
Picture to yourself, O fair young reader, a worldly, selfish, graceless, thankless, religionless old woman, writhing in pain and fear, and without her wig. Picture her to yourself, and ere you be old, learn to love and pray. ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Irrational Fear quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
This birth thing. And this death thing. Each one had it's turn. We entered alone and we left alone. And most of us lived lonely and frightened and incomplete lives. An incomparable sadness descended up on me. Seeing all that life that must die. Seeing all that life that would first turn to hate, to dementia, to neuroses, to stupidity, to fear, to murder, to nothing - nothing in life and nothing in death. ~ Charles Bukowski
Irrational Fear quotes by Charles Bukowski
Fear of failure prevents you from realising your dreams of success. ~ Habeeb Akande
Irrational Fear quotes by Habeeb Akande
Ridicule is a public confession of fear. ~ Vanna Bonta
Irrational Fear quotes by Vanna Bonta
When you are afraid, do the thing you are afraid of and soon you will lose your fear of it. ~ Norman Vincent Peale
Irrational Fear quotes by Norman Vincent Peale
And yet is not mankind itself, pushing on its blind way, driven by a dream of its greatness and its power upon the dark paths of excessive cruelty and of excessive devotion. And what is the pursuit of truth, after all? ~ Joseph Conrad
Irrational Fear quotes by Joseph Conrad
People help way more than we expect, way more than makes sense. But when you talk to people called heroes, they often say they did it for themselves. In one case, a hero said that the cost of not doing it is so great, the sense of shame, when he knew that he was strong enough, that the fear of not doing anything was more frightening than the fear of dying. ~ Amanda Ripley
Irrational Fear quotes by Amanda Ripley
I have no fear of death, except I hate waiting for it. ~ Doug Stanhope
Irrational Fear quotes by Doug Stanhope
Over the course of the 1970s conservatives made the endangered child into a kind of political and rhetorical abstraction, a way of thinking about the country and its citizens that could help advance a wide range of policy initiatives. They opposed the counterculture on the grounds that rock and roll caused adolescents to lose respect for family life. They promoted the War on Drugs with racially tinged morality tales about addicted inner-city mothers and, crucially, the "superpredator" "crack babies" to whom those mothers supposedly gave birth. (That particular epidemic was later shown to be a myth.)40 And when Anita Bryant led a campaign to allow Dade County to discriminate against homosexuals in hiring teachers for public schools, she named the effort "Save Our Children." The fear that tied all of these campaigns together was of the ease with which children could be victimized or else corrupted and turned against the society that was supposed to nurture them. ~ Richard Beck
Irrational Fear quotes by Richard Beck
You belong to everything and
everything belongs to you.
You are in the beauty of a flower.
You are also in the nourishing spring shower.
Then why do you fear to change?
You just lose your name
and your inner beauty remains the same. ~ Debasish Mridha
Irrational Fear quotes by Debasish Mridha
They were a motley assembly, each with some cause for anxiety stirring at his heart; though, after all, that is saying little or nothing, for we are all of us in the same predicament through life; each with a fear and a hope from childhood to death. ~ Elizabeth Gaskell
Irrational Fear quotes by Elizabeth Gaskell
Oh, the weight you've had to bear! Can't you feel how it's worn you down, little by little, every day of your life? But it's gone now, all the pain and hurt, all the fear; I've taken it away. Imagine living that way always."
She was right, Kate thought. It was as if she could breathe for the first time in years.
"Say the word, and you'll never feel it again."
The tendril drifted in the air, still clinging to her fingertip. Kate thought back to her mother leaning down, telling her to watch over her brother and sister, and though the memory was there, the feeling of her mother's love, of that last kiss, was gone.
"Give it back."
"Are you sure, mon ange? There's a great deal of pain here."

"Give it back." If holding on to that one moment meant a lifetime of pain, Kate would take it. ~ John Stephens
Irrational Fear quotes by John  Stephens
Fear is the root of all courage ~ Vivian Stanshall
Irrational Fear quotes by Vivian Stanshall
Relationships without a Divine Aim always "break up," for they are based on nothing. Divine Purpose could be described as forgiveness -- the undoing and releasing of the ego. Belief in the ego prevents awareness of True Union and Intimacy. The underlying fear of Intimacy and Union is the ego's fear of loss of itself, the 'personal self' and the 'personal world. ~ David Hoffmeister
Irrational Fear quotes by David Hoffmeister
Even under more ingratiating conditions than rocket travel, this new conquest has already disclosed drawbacks quite as remarkable as its advantages. On a transcontinental flight by a jet plane approaching super-sonic speed, the actual trip is so cramped, so dull, so vacuous, that the only attraction the air lines dare to offer are those vulgar experiences one can have by walking to the nearest cabaret, restaurant, or cinema: liquor, food, motion pictures, luscious stewardesses. Only a lurking sense of fear and the possibility of a grisly death help restore the sense of reality. ~ Lewis Mumford
Irrational Fear quotes by Lewis Mumford
I've always had a strange fear of spoons. ~ Liam Payne
Irrational Fear quotes by Liam Payne
To fight our fear each day is to live with the perpetual flame to conquer it. ~ Lisa Fantino "Shrouded In Pompei"
Irrational Fear quotes by Lisa Fantino
It's called being in love. It's more frightening than confronting your deepest fear and opens you to being hurt beyond the physical plane." He placed a hand over his heart. "It might seem as though it's a weakness to you but it is proof that we are more than numbers, experiments, or whatever else Mercile intended us to be. It takes bravery and strength to feel such strong emotions for one person when we were denied from birth the chance to ever care about anything or anyone. I'm not saying it's easy or painless. It is probably one of the most complex things I've experienced. Jessie is my life. My heart beats for her and I will admit to all that I wouldn't want to go on if I lost her. The unmated ones don't understand and are currently looking confused or horrified. I'm hopeful they'll know the ups and downs of falling in love one day. It's a gift and a curse at times but everyone should experience it. It's a part of life and we are survivors. ~ Laurann Dohner
Irrational Fear quotes by Laurann Dohner
I came to see the streets and the schools as the arms of the same beast. One enjoyed the official power of the state while the other enjoyed its implicit sanction. But fear and violence were the weaponry of both. ~ Ta-Nehisi Coates
Irrational Fear quotes by Ta-Nehisi Coates
All of it pointed to a force stronger than the anxious formulas of religion: a radically inclusive love that accompanied people in the most ordinary of actions - eating, drinking, walking - and stayed with them, through fear, even past death. That love meant giving yourself away, embracing outsiders as family, emptying yourself to feed and live for others. The stories illuminated the holiness located in mortal human bodies, and the promise that people could see God by cherishing all those different bodies the way God did. They spoke of a communion so much vaster than any church could contain: one I had sensed all my life could be expressed in the sharing of food, particularly with strangers. ~ Sara Miles
Irrational Fear quotes by Sara Miles
In 2008, an Australian company commissioned a study to find out exactly how much people fear public speaking. The survey of more than one thousand people found that 23 percent feared public speaking more than death itself! As Jerry Seinfeld once said, most people attending a funeral would rather be in the casket than delivering the eulogy!
I can relate to those people because I feared speaking in front of a class or group of people more than anything else when I was a kid. In fact, I dropped speech in high school because when I signed up for it I thought it was a grammar class for an English credit. When I found out it actually required giving an oral presentation, I didn't want any part of it! After hearing the overview of the class on the first day, I got out of my seat and walked toward the door; the teacher asked me where I was going. We had a brief meeting in the hall, in which she informed me that nobody ever dropped her class. After a meeting with the principal, I dropped the class, but on the condition that I might be called upon in the near future to use my hunting and fishing skills. I thought the principal was joking--until I was called upon later that year during duck season to pick ducks during recess! I looked at it as a fair trade. ~ Jase Robertson
Irrational Fear quotes by Jase Robertson
Promise to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit trouble to press on you. ~ John Wooden
Irrational Fear quotes by John Wooden
It was not fear thinking these thoughts. More like realism. A very grim sense of it. A knowing that far too soon not all would be as it was now. ~ Luke Taylor
Irrational Fear quotes by Luke  Taylor
This is a dark time, filled with suffering and uncertainty. Like living cells in a larger body, it is natural that we feel the trauma of our world. So don't be afraid of the anguish you feel, or the anger or fear, because these responses arise from the depth of your caring and the truth of your interconnectedness with all beings. ~ Joanna Macy
Irrational Fear quotes by Joanna Macy
Because the European does not know his own unconscious, he does not understand the East and projects it into everything he fears and despises in himself. ~ Carl Jung
Irrational Fear quotes by Carl Jung
If I spent all my time fearing the things I should, I'd never stop screaming. ~ Jessica Shirvington
Irrational Fear quotes by Jessica Shirvington
Fear God, and your enemies will fear you. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Irrational Fear quotes by Benjamin Franklin
The vagaries of love with all its unpredictable and capricious meanders may be a hurdle in keeping life on an even keel. Rational thinking and irrational feeling don't always get along very well. ( "Love as dizzy as a cathedral") ~ Erik Pevernagie
Irrational Fear quotes by Erik Pevernagie
Law, in its most general and comprehensive sense, signifies a rule of action; and is applied indiscriminately to all kinds of action, whether animate, or inanimate, rational or irrational. Thus we say, the laws of motion, of gravitation, of optics, or mechanics, as well as the laws of nature and of nations. And it is that rule of action, which is prescribed by some superior, and which the inferior is bound to obey. ~ William Blackstone
Irrational Fear quotes by William Blackstone
When it all comes down to it, though we may be accused of being coddled and cosseted, our consciences need to be right before God. If that is the case, we have nothing to fear or to apologize for. ~ Jasmine Baucham
Irrational Fear quotes by Jasmine Baucham
This starchy formality is not in vogue today. We carry ourselves in ways that are more natural and relaxed. We worry about appearing artificial. But those in Marshall's military world are more likely to believe that great individuals are made, not born, and that they are made through training. Change happens form the outside in. It is through the exercise of a drill that a person becomes self-regulating. It is through the expression of courtesy that a person becomes polite. It is through the resistance to fear that a person develops courage. It is through the control of facial expressions that one becomes sober. The act precedes the virtue. ~ David Brooks
Irrational Fear quotes by David Brooks
Being loved back by the person he loved to the point where he couldn't cope anymore with the vulnerable reciprocity of giving and receiving, he ended the relationship to get it over with before he lost it ~ Anna Burns
Irrational Fear quotes by Anna Burns
Self-conceit may lead to self destruction. ~ Aesop
Irrational Fear quotes by Aesop
Virginia, forgive me. I didn't mean to be so rude. It's just my cycle coming on. Once a month I get very irrational and angry, and I want to pick a fight with anyone who comes near me. ~ Kathryn Wesley
Irrational Fear quotes by Kathryn Wesley
Everyone is in pain. Most people think pain in massage means something is happening, and if they can endure it, they will be improved, but sometimes the only thing pain means is pain.
It a very easy mistake to make, though.. She'd refused for the longest time to get therapy or take any psychoactive drugs because she'd felt that the "darkness" was necessary, not just for her as an actor, but as a human being.
You didn't have to feel slightly terrible all the time, as it turns out. Her only worry now was that slightly terrible was not a flaw in her chemistry, but an appropriate response to being the kind of person that she was. "You're very hard on yourself," Luke said.
"Can you imagine the kind of person that I'd be if I wasn't hard on myself?" she said back. Luke should be sympathetic. He was hoping to improve the human race, and it would be hard to get there if the human race thought it was already fantastic, thanks very much.
Well, she could still go dark, if she needed to, she could go dark right now. Yesterday she had done Terror. She'd done Fear and Dejection and Remorse. And because she had done Remorse as fully as a person could do it, she knew that she hadn't ever experienced that kind of pure Remorse before. What she'd felt in the past was polluted Remorse, because half the time she was sorry she was also privately resentful and building a case about why the actions that had led to Remorse could be justified. ~ Meg Howrey
Irrational Fear quotes by Meg Howrey
And if the serpent grows in monstrousness and corruption, if it poisons the land of Elfhame itself, then let me be the queen of monsters. Let me rule over that blackened land with my redcap father as a puppet by my side. Let me be feared and never again afraid. ~ Holly Black
Irrational Fear quotes by Holly Black
As hatred is defined as intense dislike, what is wrong with inciting intense dislike of a religion, if the activities or teachings of that religion are so outrageous, irrational or abusive of human rights that they deserve to be intensely disliked? ~ Rowan Atkinson
Irrational Fear quotes by Rowan Atkinson
With love comes responsibility and possibility, fear and hope, quests and suffering ~ Carrie Jones
Irrational Fear quotes by Carrie Jones
Monsters don't exist. It's men you should be afraid of, not monsters. ~ Niccolo Ammaniti
Irrational Fear quotes by Niccolo Ammaniti
I saw how different life was on different sides of the same city. I saw the fear in the eyes of people who were not free. I saw the gratitude of people toward the United States for all that we had done. I felt goosebumps as I got off a military train and heard the Army band strike up 'Stars and Stripes Forever.' ~ John F. Kerry
Irrational Fear quotes by John F. Kerry
I like challenges, I like that fear you feel for something new, and with a new director, I think it's very important to always support new projects. ~ Kate Del Castillo
Irrational Fear quotes by Kate Del Castillo
