Quote by Samuel Butler

Fear is static that prevents me from hearing myself.

Fear is static that prevents me from hearing myself.

Summary

This quote expresses the idea that fear acts as a static noise or interference that hinders one's ability to truly listen to one's own thoughts, desires, and intuition. When consumed by fear, one becomes mentally occupied with worries, anxieties, and potential negative outcomes, making it difficult to connect with one's inner self and understand their own needs and true potential. By acknowledging and overcoming fear, one can remove this static and create space for self-reflection, growth, and personal discovery.

The moon is a white strange world, great, white, soft-seeming globe in the night sky, and what she actually communicates to me across space I shall never fully know. But the moon that pulls the tides, and the moon that controls the menstrual periods of women, and the moon that touches the lunatics, she is not the mere dead lump of the astronomist. When we describe the moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. When we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness.

I dont believe in labels. I want to do the best I can, all the time. I want to be progressive without getting both feet off the ground at the same time. I want to be prudent without having my mind closed to anything that is new or different. I have often said that I was proud that I was a free man first and an American second, and a public servant third and a Democrat fourth, in that order, and I guess as a Democrat, if I had to takeplace a label on myself, I would want to be a progressive who is prudent.

He said we were all cooked but we were all right as long as we did not know it. We were all cooked. The thing was not to recognize it. The last country to realize they were cooked would win the war.
