The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

My dear: in this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it.

The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.

I think war is a dangerous place.

You know, sometimes the world seems like a pretty mean place.'

'That's why animals are so soft and huggy.

There's a terror in knowing what the world is about

The true threat to the world today comes from the mad ambitions of states and capitalists bent on destroying non-modern cultures. It is the so-called developed countries that plunder the planet's resources without showing the least concern for consequences they are incapable of foreseeing.

People find particular things, however, frightening; and it's when someone is able to threaten or entice us with those that the man himself becomes frightening.

My work means that we have lived in different parts of the world and in each there has always been something to be afraid of. Gangsters, extremist political groups Right and Left tossing bombs into restaurants, hijacks, holdups, a city plumb on the line of an earthquake fault. We have long had a compact, with ourselves, with life; life is dangerous. We live with that; in the one certainty that fear is the real killer.

It is impossible not to notice that our world is tormented by failure, hate, guilt, and fear.

Maybe ever’body in the whole damn world is scared of each other.

Unfortunately, this world is full of people who are ready to think the worst when they see a man sneaking out of the wrong bedroom in the middle of the night.

[W]hat is ordinarily felt as the wayward, unpredictable, dangerous, and even hostile world - including one's capricious emotions and inner feelings - is actually one's own being and doing. The very sense that this is not so is, in turn, part of its being so,

The world is such a dangerous place a man is lucky to get out alive.
