All men fear



It is no sin to be fearful, any more than it is a sin to be one-legged or red-haired. All men fear – even Yakub and Kutebar and all of them. To conquer fear, some need love, and some hate, and some greed, and some even – hasheesh.



Flashman at the Charge, pp.283-4, Pan edition, 5th printing, 1979.
