Motivational, Inspiring, Fear
The Old Man and the Sea (1952)

It's all nonsense. It's only nonsense. I'm not afraid of the rain. I am not afraid of the rain. Oh, oh, God, I wish I wasn't.

Ernest Hemingway
Fear, Rain, Farewell
Ernest Hemingway (2016). “A Farewell to Arms”, p.75, Hamilton Books

I was as afraid as the next man in my time and maybe more so. But with the years, fear had come to be regarded as a form of stupidity to be classed with overdrafts, acquiring a venereal disease or eating candies. Fear is a child's vice and while I loved to feel it approach, as one does with any vice, it was not for grown men and the only thing to be afraid of was the presence of true and imminent danger in a form that you should be aware of and not be a fool if you were responsible for others.

Fear, Children, Men
"True at First Light". Book by Ernest Hemingway, ch. 17, 1999.
