I listen to my political rivals sometimes with fear and trembling, sometimes with awe, sometimes with near panic, but always with a curiosity of nuances, curiosity for the language, curiosity for the story behind the 'impossible' position.

Amos Oz

By replacing fear of the unknown with curiosity we open ourselves up to an infinite stream of possibility. We can let fear rule our lives or we can become childlike with curiosity, pushing our boundaries, leaping out of our comfort zones, and accepting what life puts before us.

Alan Watts

We are not really spying, we're just satisfying our curiosity.

Paul Christopher

Conquering something new becomes fun, even if that thing you're conquering isn't what you'd normally do.

Charlie Clouser

Conquering others takes force, conquering yourself is true strength.

Laozi

He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Your fears are not walls, but hurdles. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the conquering of it.

Dan Millman

Beverly Cleary

I'm glad I took the leap away from acting into going behind the camera because it's much more satisfying - I love acting and I still do, but it's much more satisfying to be able to make the stuff.

Paul Feig

Vincent Canby

I was scared to death, but I made fear score points for me. Fear is right behind me, fear is six inches off my back, that's where fear is. I can feel its presence. But it's not going to catch me... I'm going to take fear and use it to my advantage.

Bruce Jenner

There's no such conquering weapon as the necessity of conquering.

George Herbert

I'd rather be two strokes ahead going into the last day than two strokes behind. Having said that, it's probably easier to win coming from behind. There is no fear in chasing. There is fear in being chased.
