1. “While she was exchanging the simplest sentences with him, even while she was jesting with him, she was conscious of a faint spasm of dread. So people on a steamer at sea talk and laugh carelessly, for all the world as though they were on dry land; but let only the slightest hitch occur, let the least sign be seen of anything out of the common, and at once on every face there comes out an expression of peculiar alarm, betraying the constant consciousness of constant danger.”

7. “When you’re doing a show on stage, and they show you a red light, that means you have 5 minutes left. At some clubs, they hold a candle up in the back. That’s the worst method. You’re up here, and then you see a floating candle. “Oh, no! This place is haunted!” I can’t be funny when I’m frightened.” Mitch Hedberg Performance, Comedy, Fear, Timing, Humor
15. “I've always had to conquer fear when I'm on stage. Basically, I was and still am a very shy person. It's absolutely in conflict with what I do. But once I deliver the first joke I'm okay. It's like I'm out there all by myself just delivering my lines to nobody in particular without ever trying to notice the audience in front of me.” Steven Wright Comedy, Performance, Fear, Public Speaking, Confidence
30. “As kids we didn't know many fears, we smiled at strangers, we played with anyone new, we smiled more often, we didn't worry about the future, didn't remember much about the past, we hugged, kissed, cuddled, didn't fear judgement. And then we became "adults"! What a decline!” Ankur Warikoo Childhood, Fear, Innocence, Adulthood, Joy
