From the Quote of the Week Files, July 29, 2013

Welcome to the Quote of the Week where you can find Quotations, Thoughts and Proverbs of Philosophers, Kings, Politicians, Wise, Famous and not so Famous People. The theme for this week is FEAR (the # 1 Head Trash junk factor) and is inspired by the movie, The Life of Pi.  Enjoy!

"I must say a word about fear. It is life's only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous adversary, how well I know. It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unnerving ease. It begins in your mind, always ... so you must fight hard to express it. You must fight hard to shine the light of words upon it. Because if you don't, if your fear becomes a wordless darkness that you avoid, perhaps even manage to forget, you open yourself to further attacks of fear because you never truly fought the opponent who defeated you.”

Yann Martel, Life of Pi
