Oh God, I pray I'll never get AIDS. So many friends have it. Some have died, others won't last much longer. I'm terrified that I'll be next. Immediately after each time I have sex I think, 'Suppose that was the one? Suppose the virus is now in my body? I jump in the shower and scrub myself clean, although I know it's useless and anyway it's too late.

There are two levers for moving men, interest and fear.

The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear.

There would be nothing to frighten you if you refused to be afraid.

It is weakness which breeds fear, and fear breeds distrust.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
