"Fear is a part of life. It's a warning mechanism. That's all. It tells you when there's danger around. Its job is to help you survive. Not cripple you into being unable to do it."

Donna Grant

"There are things so horrible that even the dark is afraid of them. Most people don't know this and this is just as well because the world could not really operate if everyone stayed in bed with the blankets over their head, which is what would happen if people knew what horrors lay a shadow's width away."

"Night comes to the desert all at once, as if someone turned off the light."

Nature

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"Our house is made of glass... and our lives are made of glass; and there is nothing we can do to protect ourselves."

Nothing

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"Where we come from in America no longer signifies. It's where we go, and what we do when we get there, that tells us who we are."

Change

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"Obviously the imagination is fueled by emotions beyond the control of the conscious mind."

Creativity

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"I feel very transparent in myself. I'm more of an observer. I'm interested in what's going on. I'm not sure that I really have a personality. Some people think I do have a personality. I have a personality when I am with certain people - but when I'm not with them I don't have that personality. I just sort of go back to resembling a transparent glass of water."

Self

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"A wet autumn morning, a garbage truck clattering down the street. The first snowfall of the season, blossom sized flakes falling languidly and melting on teh ground, a premature snow fall delicate as lace, rapidly melting."

Nature

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"It is utterly naive, futile, uninformed-to think that our species is exceptional. So designated to master the beasts of the Earth, as in the Book of Genesis!"

Philosophy

"A fear of the unknown: what was that called?Worse yet: a fear of the known."

Fear

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"This was before voice mail, recorded phone messages you can't escape. Life was easier then. You just didn't pick up the phone."

Reflection

Quote_1.png
Joyce Carol Oates
"I'm drawn to write about upstate New York in the way in which a dreamer might have recurring dreams. My childhood and girlhood were spent in upstate New York, in the country north of Buffalo and West of Rochester. So this part of New York state is very familiar to me and, with its economic difficulties, has become emblematic of much of American life."
