"When the mugger or the thief stops to think twice - that is fear. That is what I am. That is why they hired assassins - because I am the reason the criminals breathe easier when the sun rises."
― Batman (Arkham Origins)
"So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is... fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
― Franklin D. Roosevelt
"It's impossible for words... to describe... what is... necessary... to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies."
― Colonel Walter E. Kurtz (Apocalypse Now)
"I am the shadow of fear.
I am the dark hand that clutches your heart and closes your throat before battle. I am the doubt that forces you to flee. I am the anguish of the damned who die in their beds.
I am Cowardice. Look upon me ... and tremble."
― Spectre of Cowardice (Star Trek Online)
