But when one can eliminate fear, one is almost in safety. For example, epidemics, or so-called epidemics, like those which are raging at present—ninety-nine times out of a hundred they come from fear: a fear, then, which even becomes a mental fear in its most sordid form, promoted by newspaper articles, useless talk and so on. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/19-june-1957</ref>

If there is one mental disorder which can bring about all illnesses, it is fear. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/31-march-1951#p3</ref>

What is pleasing gives rise to grief; what is pleasing gives rise to fear. One who is freed from what is pleasing, who feels no grief, what has he to fear?Affection gives rise to grief; affection gives rise to fear. One who is freed from affection, who feels no grief, what has he to fear?Attachment gives rise to grief; attachment gives rise to fear. One who is freed from attachment, who feels no grief, what has he to fear? Desire gives rise to grief; desire gives rise to fear. One who is freed from desire, who feels no grief, what has he to fear? Craving gives rise to grief; craving gives rise to fear. One who is freed from craving, who feels no grief, what has he to fear? <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/pleasure#p4</ref>It always seems to me that the reasons usually given for becoming wise are poor reasons: "Don't do this, it will bring you suffering; don't do that, it will give birth to fear in you"... and the consciousness dries up more and more, it hardens, because it is afraid of grief, afraid of pain. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/pleasure#p12</ref>
