Rome was a culture alive with fear, ... Fear of what the other side will do ... fear of what the gods will do if you do not propitiate them.

All gods who receive homage are cruel. All gods dispense suffering without reason. Otherwise they would not be worshipped. Through indiscriminate suffering men know fear and fear is the most divine emotion. It is the stones for altars and the beginning of wisdom. Half gods are worshipped in wine and flowers. Real gods require blood.

Fear was the first thing on earth to make gods

With Fellini, the fear dropped out of my work because it was such a happy experience... hanging out with Fellini, having pasta on the set with Fellini, and going out with Fellini!

Slowly but surely, you're seeing the culture of fear dissipate in Raleigh.

There is nothing to fear from gods, There is nothing to feel in death, Good can be attained, Evil can be endured
