The greatest antidote to insecurity & sense of fear is compassion. It brings one back to the basis of one's inner strength.

A degree of culture, and assuredly a very high one, is attained when man rises above superstitions and religious notions and fears, and, for instance, no longer believes in guardian angels or in original sin, and has also ceased to talk of the salvation of his soul.

Put together a seaman, soldier and airman and what do you get? The sum of all fears.

Our problem is not to be rid of fear but rather to harness and master it.

The brave man is not the one who has no fears, he is the one who triumphs over his fears.

I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification.
