Quote by Hermann Hesse

You are only afraid if you are not in harmony with yourself. People are afraid because they have never owned up to themselves.

You are only afraid if you are not in harmony with yourself.

Summary

This quote suggests that fear arises from a lack of alignment within oneself. It implies that when individuals are not honest or true to themselves, fear becomes a prevalent emotion. The fear stems from not fully accepting one's own strengths, weaknesses, desires, or actions. By not owning up to their true selves, individuals may experience uncertainty, self-doubt, and fear. This quote highlights the importance of self-acceptance and being in harmony with oneself as a means to eliminate fear and cultivate personal growth.

Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by

Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York, And all the clouds that loured upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them, Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun.

William Shakespeare
