Jiddu Krishnamurti - One is never afraid of the unknown;...

If you pursue the state of boredom deeper into the recesses of the soul substance, you will find that there is always fear somewhere: fear of knowing all you can know now, about yourself and about your relationship with the universe.

Change was terrifying. The unknown always was. It was the very essence of its being unknown that made it so. The familiar was comforting even when it wasn’t necessarily good.

Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most. Fyodor Dostoevsky

You cannot fear something that you do not know. Nobody is afraid of the unknown. What you really fear is the loss of the known. That’s what you fear.

Whereas if we can understand fear, go into it fully step by step, explore the whole content of it, then fear will never return in any form—and that is what I hope we can do now.
