“A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.” — Michel de Montaigne Quote

A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.

I have never seen a greater monster or miracle in the world than myself.

Rejoice in the things that are present; all else is beyond thee.

There is an abecedarian ignorance that precedes knowledge, and a doctoral ignorance that comes after it

I know well what I am fleeing from but not what I am in search of.

One of my very greatest fears as a child was being ridiculed in public. And there it was coming true. As a television presenter, I'd been respected. People come up to you in the street and shake your hand and talk to you in a respectful way.

One of my biggest fears is not being able to break out of a rut; of becoming a prisoner to my ways, unable to change course. But in my mid-thirties, I learned you can change your thinking.

Perhaps one day the world will end, giving the last group to predict it the satisfaction of being right - but as many have been wrong so far, it does not seem wise to make public policy on the back of these fears.

I don't have any fears.
