• Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

• Invade me now, my ruthless friend,
  
  And make me cower in the dark.
  
  Remind me that I'm all alone
  
  And draw upon my face your mark.
  
  How is it that you capture me,
  
  When all my thoughts deny your force?
  
  Is it the reptile in my brain
  
  That lets your terror run its course?
  
  
  
  Baseless Fear undoes us all
  
  Despite our quest for lofty goals.
  
  We would-be Galahads don't die,
  
  Fear just freezes all our souls.
  
  It keeps us mute when feeling love,
  
  Reminding us what we might lose.
  
  And if by chance we meet success,
  
  Fear tells us which safe route to choose.

  Arthur C. Clarke

• Live. And Live Well. BREATHE. Breathe in and Breathe deeply. Be PRESENT. Do not be past. Do not be future. Be now. On a crystal clear, breezy 70 degree day, roll down the windows and FEEL the wind against your skin. Feel the warmth of the sun. If you run, then allow those first few breaths on a cool Autumn day to FREEZE your lungs and do not just be alarmed, be ALIVE. Get knee-deep in a novel and LOSE track of time. If you bike, pedal HARD

  Kyle Lake

• When I was younger, I was ready to go off at any time. My wife, Linda, and I would go out to the Limelight in New York, and I would see people and be able to freeze them with a look. People were even too scared of me to tell me that people were scared of me.

• The difference between fear and panic is knowing what to do. If you have a reliable, effective solution then fear is an asset. You know what to do and fear just makes you do it faster. On the other hand, if you don't know what to do - or don't trust what you know - then you will freeze in terror, because you have no clear goal or way to get there. Fear helps, panic hinders. Fear is your savior, panic your nemesis.

  Marc MacYoung

• Sometimes all that saves me is being willing to make mistakes. There are projects that strike me as so beautiful, important, complicated, or just plain big, that they convince me of my own inadequacy. This awful state of reverence leads to paralyzing brain freeze. At times like that the only way out is for me to decide, 'To hell with it. I can't do it right, so I'll do it wrong. I can't do it well, but I can do it badly.' Sometimes, with luck, while I'm sweating to do it wrong, I stumble on a right way.
