• Fear begins and ends with the desire to be secure; inward and outward security, with the desire to be certain, to have permanency.

To find security and be secure is the everlasting cry. It is this insistent demand that breeds fear.

• One of the functions of thought is to be occupied all the time with something. Most of us want to have our minds continually occupied so that we are prevented from seeing ourselves as we actually are. We are afraid to be empty. We are afraid to look at our fears.

  Jiddu Krishnamurti (2013). “On Fear”, p.9, Harper Collins

• There is always great beauty, not of images, feeling or thought. Beauty is neither thought nor feeling; it has nothing whatsoever to do with emotion or sentiment. There is fear. Fear is never an actuality; it is either before or after the active present. When there is fear in the active present, is it fear? It is there and there is no escape from it, no evasion possible. There, at that actual moment, there is total attention at the moment of danger, physical or psychological.
