" We're all afraid...We were afraid when we met Captain Sham in the grocery store. We were afraid when we thought that you had jumped out the window. We were afraid to give ourselves allergic reactions, and we were afraid to steal a sailboat and we were afraid to make our way across this lake in the middle of a hurricane. But that didn't stop us. "

― Lemony Snicket , The Wide Window (A Series of Unfortunate Events, #3)
