Fear Responses

Famous quotes containing the words fear and/or responses:

    although your fear is anyone’s fear,
    like an invisible veil between us all . . .
    and sometimes in private,
    my kitchen, your kitchen,
    my face, your face.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The fantasies inspired by TB in the last century, by cancer now, are responses to a disease thought to be intractable and capricious—that is, a disease not understood—in an era in which medicine’s central premise is that all diseases can be cured.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
