Summary

This quote describes someone who consistently avoids taking risks or pushing their own boundaries. Instead, they prefer to observe others as they dare to go to the edge of their comfort zones or attempt new adventures. This person finds beauty in watching others embrace the thrill of taking risks, but they themselves never fully participate in that experience. It implies a certain level of detachment and perhaps even a fear of the unknown that prevents them from fully experiencing life.

You have to persevere. You have to do it. I have insecurities. But whatever I'm insecure about I don't dissect it, but I'll go after it and say, What am I afraid of? I bet the average successful person can tell you they've failed so much more than they've had success. I've had far more failures than I've had successes. With every commercial I've gotten, there were 200 I didn't get. You have to go after what you're afraid of.

Our weapons are the ironic mind against the literal: the open mind against the credulous; the courageous pursuit of truth against the fearful and abject forces who would set limits to investigation (and who stupidly claim that we already have all the truth we need). Perhaps above all, we affirm life over the cults of death and human sacrifice and are afraid, not of inevitable death, but rather of a human life that is cramped and distorted by the pathetic need to offer mindless adulation, or the dismal belief that the laws of nature respond to wailings and incantations.
