Scared

Famous quotes containing the word scared:

“My grandfathers, my grandmothers and my mother hardly ever spanked at all. My grandfather said that if you spanked the little ones, you made them scared and they couldn’t think. My great great-grandfathers used to use the double rope, but they never hit you; they would just barely miss you with that rope. Afterwards, they would go easy. They would take this boy or girl and talk very softly and kindly to them, and these youngsters would listen.”
—Max Hanley (20th century)

“Some nights—some nights are darker. Some are almost black, Rachel. Like tonight. It seems so dark. And I’m scared. I’m scared of being alone.”
—Pat Fielder, and Paul Landres. Jennie (Virginia Vincent)
