I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't.

Audre Lorde

Always do what you are afraid to do.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Remember one rule of thumb: the more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it.

Steven Pressfield

Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.

Winston Churchill

If you try to get rid of fear and anger without knowing their meaning, they will grow stronger and return.

Deepak Chopra

If you are not afraid of the voices inside you, you will not fear the critics outside you.
