I've seen a few wild grizzly bears, mostly in Alaska and British Columbia, and always from a distance. But each grizzly I've caught sight of was as fearsome and sublime as the last. You never get used to their raw power and massive bodies, or the mysterious intelligence in their dark, close-set eyes.

We fear to know the fearsome and unsavory aspects of ourselves, but we fear even more to know the godlike in ourselves.

Boredom is a fearsome prospect. There's a limit to the number of cars and microwaves you can buy. What do you do then?

Fear builds its phantoms which are more fearsome than reality itself.

Strong souls face painful tragedies because the universe honours their strength by pulling out its most fearsome weapons against them.

We fear to know the fearsome and unsavory aspects of ourselves but we fear even more to know the godlike in ourselves.
