'Fear has its own physiology - primal responses to threat: the quickened heart, the sweaty palm, the panic that chokes in the throat, making time seem to stand still. We are born with these instincts to flee danger from the world outside us, to survive. But there's no place to run when the dangers come not from outside us, but from ourselves.'
'Fuelled by memory, fear takes form, becoming a thing that lives long after death, residing not just in our hearts, but in the hidden bonds between us. Fear so powerful can not be escaped, but it can be destroyed.'
-- both quotes from Kolchak: The Night Stalker
