“I hate to say it, but I think a default posture of human beings is fear. What it comes down to — and I think this has become prominent in our culture recently — is that fear is an excuse: ‘I would like to have done something, but of course I couldn’t.’ Fear is so opportunistic that people can call on it under the slightest provocations: ‘He looked at me funny. So I shot him, Can you blame me?’ Fear has, in this moment, a respectability I’ve never seen in my life.” --Marilynne Robinson
