Quote by Arthur Somers Roche

Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.

Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind.

Summary

This quote by Arthur Somers Roche captures the nature of anxiety and its profound impact on the mind. Anxiety is depicted as a delicate and continuous flow of fear, subtly infiltrating one's thoughts. When given attention and nourishment, it expands and carves a deep path, consuming and overshadowing all other thoughts. This imagery illustrates how anxiety, if allowed to persist, has the power to dominate and control one's mental state, leaving little room for other perspectives or emotions.

What makes us leave what we love best?What is it inside us that keeps erasing itselfWhen we need it most,That sends us into uncertainty for its own sakeAnd holds us flush there until we begin to love itAnd have to begin again?What is it within our own lives we decline to liveWhenever we find it, making our days unendurable,And nights almost visionless?I still don't know yet, but I do it.
