Fear Quotes

Fear refers to a strong, uncontrollable, unpleasant emotion or feeling caused by actual or perceived danger or threat. It commonly describes a phobia, a sense of fear induced by something or someone, terrified veneration or reverence, particularly towards God, gods, or sovereigns, and able; capable; stout; strong; sound, which gives the term a broader and more practical sense than a single short definition would suggest. Depending on context, it can also point to to feel fear about (something or someone); to be afraid of; to consider or expect with alarm, to feel fear (about something), and to venerate; to feel awe towards, so the category can cover literal uses, related ideas, and more figurative extensions of the same core meaning. Taken together, these meanings present Fear as a flexible theme rather than a narrowly technical label, covering the central idea people usually mean when they use the word while still leaving room for closely related senses that appear in real language. Additional shades of meaning include to regret, to cause fear to; to frighten, to be anxious or solicitous for, and to suspect; to doubt, which reinforce how the category can stretch across adjacent but still recognizable uses of the same term.
