“What if I crash?” said Fred.

“You will have to refrain from doing so.”

“You have not, I noticed, said you won’t. You have only said that you can’t.   I say you can.”

“I’m scared, alright?” said Fred.  “Then you will make the decision to steer towards fear.  I think you can.  I think you were built to pursue the things you are afraid of.  Fear is a panther.  Humans are stronger than panthers.  You fight it, tooth and claw.  But you don’t stop when you are tired.  You only stop when the panther is tired.”

“Pay attention to the world the same way you did out here.  It will change the way you feel. Attention and love are so closely allied as to be almost indistinguishable.”

“Resist the urge to arrange your fears and angers at their most becoming angles.   You are not one who was born to ride lightly over the world.  DO you know what a lion heart is? People think it means brave, and it does.  But it also means a heart with claws.”
